The church of St. Anastasia is a fine example of Italian Gothic architecture. It was designed by two Dominican friars and work began on it as from 1290 AD. Work lasted throughout the 14th and 15th centuries and by the early years of the 16th century the final stages of building showed that the end was in sight. The only thing never to be completed was the façade. St. Anastasia is the largest church in Verona.The Basilica extends over three large aisles supported by twelve impressive pillars in red Veronese marble. To the left of the transept a splendid marble entrance opens onto the Giusti chapel which was at one time the oratory of the Dominican monastery.
