The Diocesan Museum is located in the splendid Piazza Duomo, next to the Cathedral of San Vigilio, in Palazzo Pretorio. In its rooms it exhibits a rich heritage of art and culture ranging from the 11th to the 19th century: paintings, wooden sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, iconographic testimonies of the Council of Trent, precious goldsmith's art, ancient embroideries and sumptuous Flemish tapestries. The museum also manages the early Christian Basilica of San Vigilio, the Porta Veronensis (1st century AD), or the ancient monumental entrance to the Roman Tridentum, and the Civic Tower, which with its 45 meters high is the unmistakable symbol of the city.
