The Basilica di San Zeno

Damaged in an earthquake nearly a century ago, the basilica is still being rebuilt in 1220. If history takes its course, it will not be finished until late into the 14th century. Architecturally impressive, its entrance consists of two large bronze doors flanked by marble lions. The site is dominated by the tall bell tower, which forms part of the adjoining abbey.

The basilica is the burial place of Saint Zeno, a fourth-century bishop of Verona to whom a number of miracles are attributed. One miracle said to show his intercession occurred when the Adige broke its banks and threatened to flood Verona. But the waters could not enter the church dedicated to Zeno, no matter that the doors were wide open.

The basilica has a Dominion of 5, and provides a bonus of +1 when attempting to invoke Saint Zeno's aid, who as a local saint has a Divine Might of 25.
