Pieve di San Giorgio di Valpolicella Site Features

The ciborium of 712

A dated Lombard altar canopy with interlace carving and a naming inscription -- among the most significant early medieval sculptures in the region.

The cloister

Small, twelfth-century, and a rare survival in the Veronese countryside.

The reused Roman stone

Column shafts and inscribed blocks built into the fabric, visible without needing to be pointed out.

The view

The terrace looks across the whole of Valpolicella toward the Adige and the Lessini -- the best single overview of the wine region.
