It preserves the name of a pre-existing church of the Lombard period, dedicated to the virgin Anastasia, martyr of the fourth century. The building was located at the end of the decumanus maximus: the main Roman road of Verona that connected Porta Borsàri to the disappeared Ponte Postumio. Around 1290 the Dominican order settled here, which began the construction of the Gothic Basilica, dedicated to St. Peter martyr, Dominican native of Verona and patron, with St. Zeno, of the city. The work was made possible thanks to the contribution of the Della Scala family, who ruled Verona from the end of the 13th to the end of the 14th century. Sant'Anastasia is the largest church in Verona.

San Rufino is venerated in Assisi as the first bishop and principal patron of the city.
The existence of a "parva basilica", a small church dating back to the eighth century, allows us to document the cult of the saint in the territory of Assisi at least since the time of the Lombard invasions, when his body was transferred within the city walls from the place of martyrdom.
According to the story of the Passio Sancti Rufini -which is reported by various codices, the oldest of which is a Passionary of the Cathedral of Perugia dating back to the eleventh century- Rufinus and his son, the priest Cesidio, would be originally from the city of Amasia. From Pontus, after having converted even the proconsul Andrew, they would have left for our peninsula to continue their work of evangelization and would have arrived in Thrasacco, a town in Marsyas, in which Cesidio remained and would later find martyrdom.
Bishop Rufinus moved instead to Assisi, where he was captured by the proconsul Aspasio, who interrogated him, had him beaten with the plumbs, had his mouth beaten and had him thrown into a fiery furnace, but the saint was freed from the fire by an angel.
The emperor himself then commanded that Aspasio throw Rufinus into the deep water with a stone around his neck: the saint died on August 11, 238 in the river Chiascio, near the village of Costano. In this place where once there was also a church dedicated to him already mentioned in an archival document of 1038.
Since 1997 the feast of San Rufino in Assisi and within the diocese has been postponed from 11 to 12 August, to avoid overlapping with the celebrations in honor of Santa Chiara.
The oldest depictions of San Rufino show the patron saint of Assisi with mantle, miter and pastoral, to emphasize his role as the first bishop of the city. Starting from the period of the Counter-Reformation, however, the iconographic attributes of the saint become clearer and more immediate and Rufinus is represented with the millstone of his martyrdom.
The Museum of the Cathedral of San Rufino was inaugurated in 1941 but the first project for its establishment dates back to sixteen years earlier, when Canon Sigismondo Spagnoli proposed to the Chapter to arrange the archive and to establish an art collection in which to bring together some works and sacred furnishings from the Cathedral church and from the oratories of the city brotherhoods.
This first museum – strongly desired also by the bishop of the time, Monsignor Giuseppe Placido Nicolini – occupied some rooms adjacent to the church and, as well as the adjoining Historical Archive, for a long time was accessible to the public and scholars only on request.
It was not until 1995 that the collection was finally opened to the public constantly in the months from April to October, while it was only in 2003 that the possibility of accessing the museum became annual.
After the demanding recovery and restoration of the basement of the Palazzo dei Canonici and the cloister of the eleventh century, the Diocesan Museum reopened to visitors on April 15, 2006, with a new layout and a new location.
The current museum is not a simple extension of the old one: it was built not only to enhance the material preserved in the previous structure, but also to accommodate new works from donations, host the heritage at risk scattered throughout the territory of the Diocese and set up temporary exhibitions.
For the climb to the bell tower today it is accessed from a door in Piazza San Rufino (near the chapel in memory of the birthplace of Santa Chiara) or from a small door in Via del Turrione. After the ticket office, going up to the first level, you can see one of the so-called "attics of San Rufino" above the vaults built on a project by Alessi in the sixteenth century, with the left rose window of the church seen from the inside, while on the second level is located the clock mechanism with a spear of the tower.

The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi, a town in the Umbria region in central Italy, where Saint Francis was born and died. It is a Papal minor basilica and one of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Italy. With its accompanying friary, Sacro Convento, the basilica is a distinctive landmark to those approaching Assisi. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches (known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the remains of the saint are interred. The interior of the Upper Church is an important early example of the Gothic style in Italy. The Upper and Lower Churches are decorated with frescoes by numerous late medieval painters from the Roman and Tuscan schools, and include works by Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti and possibly Pietro Cavallini. The range and quality of the works give the basilica a unique importance in demonstrating the outstanding development of Italian art of this period, especially if compared with the rest of Christian Europe.

The Basilica of San Domenico, also known as Basilica Cateriniana, is a basilica church in Siena.
The church was begun in 1226–1265, but was enlarged in the 14th century resulting in the Gothic appearance it has now. However, aspects of the Gothic structure were subsequently destroyed by fires in 1443, 1456 and 1531, and further damage later resulted from military occupation (1548–1552).
It is a large edifice built, like many contemporary edifices of the mendicant orders, in bricks, with a lofty bell tower on the left (this was reduced in height after an earthquake in 1798). The interior is on the Egyptian cross plan with a huge nave covered by trusses and with a transept featuring high chapels.
The church contains several relics of St. Catherine of Siena, whose family house is nearby.

The Cathedral of Siena , whose mass rises in the homonymous square, is one of the most famous examples of Italian Romanesque-Gothic cathedral . According to tradition, the current one replaces a first church dedicated to Mary, built around the century. IX, built on the site of a temple offered to Minerva. Also from news without precise documentation, we learn that the building was consecrated in 1179, in the presence of the Sienese pope Alexander III Bandinelli, after the peace with Barbarossa . de Works Sancte Marie . It is probably a first mention of Nicola Pisano, one of the most innovative artists of the thirteenth century, to whom we owe the famous pulpit, now located in the left transept of the Cathedral. His son Giovanni, magister of the Opera in the years between 1284 and 1297, will be the key figure in the construction of the lower part of the facade. Giovanni Pisano also owns the sculptures of prophets, sibyls and philosophers that once decorated the facade and are now housed in the Museo dell'Opera (replaced by copies during the 19th and 20th centuries).
In late 1262 the acquisition of a domus is documented , destined to house the headquarters of the Opera and the workshop of the masters, where the marbles used in the construction of the Cathedral are worked. During 1263 lead was purchased for the cover of the dome and copper for the apple that crowned it. The dome is therefore finished on this date (the lantern is a total remake in the style of 1667).

The Duomo di Napoli is the cathedral of Naples, also called 'Cattedrale di San Gennaro'. The Duomo is the largest church in the city of Naples. The Catholic Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (or Duomo di Napoli, or Cattedrale di San Gennaro) was built in the 13th century and is located in the heart of Naples. The Naples Cathedral is known as one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in the city. This is partly due to the mixture of different architecture. From pure 14th century Gothic to 19th century Gothic. In front of the church you look out over a square surrounded by porticos and two buildings on the side of the cathedral, which are as important as the cathedral itself.
Royal Chapel of San Gennaro
In the right part of the Duomo is the Royal Chapel of San Gennaro (Saint Januarius), which houses relics of saints which are displayed three times a year. This chapel dates from the 17th century, in a very beautiful Baroque style. Every year people look forwardand with great attention to the liquefaction of the patron saint's blood.

The facade of the church of San Francesco di Paolo consists of 6 pillars with Ionic columns on both sides and was built between 1816 and 1846. The church has a 53 meter high dome. The dome is adorned with identical decorations leading to a window where light enters. The white marble interior of the church and the round roof with the light opening (oculus) was designed after the example of the Pantheon in Rome. During your visit to the church (it will only be a short visit), also take time to look at the altar with its gleaming lapis lazuli. Not the most impressive church in Naples, but well worth a short look inside.
