San Giorgio in Braida
Chiesa di San Giorgio in Braida
A Renaissance church on the bank of the Adige, with a dome designed by Sanmicheli. Inside, under the dome, is Veronese's altarpiece of the Martyrdom of Saint George.
San Giorgio in Braida stands on a bend of the river, just north of the Ponte Pietra. It was rebuilt in the 16th century. The white dome was designed by the architect Sanmicheli, and the bell tower was never completed. The high altar holds Paolo Veronese's Martyrdom of Saint George. The church also has works including Tintoretto's Baptism of Christ. It is of very high artistic value but rarely visited. Entry is free, though opening hours are limited. It is about a 5-minute walk along the river from the Ponte Pietra, and it can be combined with the Roman Theatre and Castel San Pietro.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:30–12:00, 16:00–19:00 (per on-site hours)
