To the left of the main chapel by Sanmicheli, at the end of the right aisle. In the foreground are two angel-headed brackets which support the pipes of the organ above. The church contains numerous works of art, among them the tomb of St. Agatha, created by an unknown master in 1353, enclosed in a Renaissance bas-relief framework of 1508. Dedicated to S Maria Matricolare, Verona Cathedral is important for its Romanesque sculpture, particularly the two porch-portals, the earlier on the south side attributed to Pelegrinus and the main façade portal signed by Nicholaus. Only the exterior walls up to the decorated cornice on the west, south and east sides belong to the Romanesque period, for the cathedral was enlarged in the 15th century in Gothic style. Renaissance elements were also added in the 16th century; notably the bell tower (ca. 1550) and main chapel by Michele Sanmicheli.
