Church of San Pedro Martir de Verona

The original church was built by the Dominican missionaries in the 18th century. A new, very modern church was built next to it with a striking tent-like appearance. The older church is still used and has a number of noteworthy artworks, most striking of which is a painting depicting the death of St. Peter of Verona with an axe sticking out of his head. (Peter was murdered by a heretic in 1252.)
