So many wonderful points of interest along the way

Peculiar little church, nestled in greenery on a small hillock. Rebuilt after the 1117 earthquake on the ruins of an earlier church, the parish church has valuable frescoes inside ( the oldest date back to the year 1000!) Surrounded by the bell tower and cemetery, it was the place where the bishop of Verona, San Zeno, came to celebrate mass and evangelize. The association La Torre di Palazzolo takes care of the parish church! Guided tours are organized from March to November on these two days: - the first Saturday of the month at 4 p.m. - every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. During the summer season, concerts and poetry evenings are organized inside!

Thirteenth-century tower, built by the lords of Verona “Della Scala,” reached in the beautiful center of Palazzolo. Seventeen meters high, crenellated, with nine bells and two clocks. Even today its bells are still rung by the village's group of bell ringers.
