Friday continued
Leaving the Piazza Bra, we walked along the inner wall
of Verona. Different sections of the wall have been repaired or replaced
at different times, but most of this stretch of the wall is about 500 years
old. There were several signs and memorial plaques mounted on the wall
from various time periods.
Memorial to the Knights of the heroic Order of Vittorio Veneto, who
were
victorious in the war 1915-1918
We wandered through town and made our way to the
Chiesa
San Fermo Maggiore, which dates from the 5th century and houses the
remains of the martyrs San Fermo and San Rustco, who are buried in the
main altar. The current Church of San Fermo was built in the 11th century.
