Holiday apartment in Dossobuono – churches, Forte Gisella and cycling route

Dossobuono combines ecclesiastical architecture, military history and gastronomic tradition. In addition, there is a 10 km cycling route between Verona and Dossobuono.

Ecclesiastical architecture from two periods in Dossobuono

The parish church of Dossobuono is dedicated to Santa Maria Maddalena. The foundation stone of the present parish church was blessed on 31 August 1941; the solemn consecration took place on 23 October 1945. Its interior is divided into three naves by two rows of four monolithic Corinthian columns made of red marble. The former parish church of Dossobuono, which was dedicated to Santa Maria Maddalena, was built in 1311. For those interested in culture, the points of reference are the patron saint dedication, dates, column order and spatial division. The present parish church thus stands alongside the historic predecessor; both bear the name Santa Maria Maddalena, but differ in the period in which they were built.

Forte Gisella and the military history of the Quadrilatero

Forte Gisella is also known as Forte Dossobuono and was built between 1860 and 1861 during Austrian rule as part of the Quadrilatero defence system. Restoration work at Forte Gisella made it possible to organise guided tours, cultural events and other public events. The name Forte Dossobuono directly refers to the location of the fortification.
