Chiostro dei Canonici. Realizzato nel XII secolo con un doppio ordine di colonne romaniche in marmo rosso, conserva numerose tracce degli edifici che anticamente sorgevano in quest'area.

Está justo al lado de la Catedral (Duomo di Verona) y del museo catedralicio. Al entrar se respira paz y llama la atención justo la tranquilidad y el sosiego que lo inunda justo al lado de una plaza (la del Duomo) casi siempre repleta de gente. Es uno de los sitios que no hay que perderse en la visita a esta magnífica ciudad italiana.
It is right next to the Cathedral (Duomo di Verona) and the cathedral museum. Upon entering you breathe peace and the tranquility and calm that floods it right next to a square (that of the Duomo) almost always full of people is striking. It is one of the places not to be missed when visiting this magnificent Italian city.

Splendido chiostro, una chicca quasi nascosta a fianco della cattedrale di Verona. Purtroppo non ho trovato grandi indicazioni, ci sono capitato quasi casualmente uscendo dalla cattedrale e sarebbe stato un peccato perderlo perché si è rivelato una della cosa più belle viste a Verona. Molto caratteristici i doppi archi sovrapposti, il pozzo al centro del giardino, la vista sulla cattedrale... Davvero bellissimo!
Splendid cloister, an almost hidden gem next to the cathedral of Verona. Unfortunately I have not found great indications, I happened to us almost by chance leaving the cathedral and it would have been a shame to lose it because it turned out to be one of the most beautiful things seen in Verona. Very characteristic are the double overlapping arches, the well in the center of the garden, the view of the cathedral ... Really beautiful!

Il Chiostro dei Canonici e l’adiacente Museo Canonicale fanno parte della cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (meglio conosciuta come “Il Duomo”) Si accedere dallo stretto passaggio sul fianco sinistro della cattedrale, nel volto difronte alla piccola chiesa di Sant’Elena. Nel chiostro si trovano i resti appartenenti alle chiese paleocristiane che occupavano questo luogo in precedenza. Luogo incantevole. Per fortuna, per il momento, poco conosciuto, così che si può gustare in solitudine. P.S.: NON spargete la voce.
The Cloister of the Canons and the adjacent Canonic Museum are part of the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (better known as "Il Duomo"). It is accessed from the narrow passage on the left side of the cathedral, in the face in front of the small church of Sant’Elena. In the cloister there are the remains belonging to the early Christian churches that occupied this place previously. Lovely place. Fortunately, for the moment, little known, so that it can be tasted in solitude. PS: DON'T spread the word.

Parte del chiostro sorge sull’area che era occupata da una basilica paleocristiana risalente al V secolo. Appena entrati, sulla sinistra, è ancora ben visibile una parte del pavimento musivo con i nomi dei benefattori che contribuirono alla costruzione della chiesa. Una colonna, rimasta in piedi, la si può notare sul lato a nord-est del chiostro.
Part of the cloister stands on the area that was occupied by an early Christian basilica dating back to the fifth century. As soon as you enter, on the left, a part of the mosaic floor is still visible with the names of the benefactors who contributed to the construction of the church. A column, which has remained standing, can be seen on the north-east side of the cloister.

The “Duomo” Cathedral Complex in Verona is a continuous shrine of wonderful gems for anybody visiting fair Verona: facing the majestic 1187 AD facade take the left vaulted gallery towards a narrow picturesque street that will bring you to “Sant’Elena” 842 AD church. Inside you’ll see the original 4th Century AD mosaic floor of the first Christian worship site in Verona. Outside a commemorative stone plaque with an epigraph recall the historical moment when on 20th January 1320 Dante Alighieri gave here, beneath the Loggia ceiling, the famous Latin speech “Quaestio de aqua et terra”. Turn your back to St. Elena church and you’ll be close to enter into a magical blissful place: the “Chiostro dei Canonici”. It is a 1120 AD double arched cloister with red marble columns! One of the most beautiful locations for artistic photoshoots and meditation. Watch your steps as you’ll see the original paleochristian mosaic floors on your sides and Romanesque columns and headstones on the walls. The cloister is the access gate to the “Museo Canonicale”, a museum containing Roman holy items as well as renowned XII-XIX century paintings such as the 1700s “Portrait of Scipione Maffei” by Fra Galgario. Part of this complex includes the V century “Biblioteca Capitolare di Verona”: this Chapter library is worldwide considered the oldest still functioning library in the world and preserves the “Veronese Riddle”, an 8th Century parchment that constitutes the oldest existing document of the Proto-Italian Language. What a Marvel!
