Verona's largest "gothic" church is the formerly Dominican pile
popularly known as Sant'Anastasia after the dedication of a predecessor
church on this site. Begun in the late thirteenth century, it has been
dedicated to P. since 1307. Completed (except for the facade) in the
fifteenth century, it was restored in 1878-81. A detailed,
Italian-language account of it (and of the adjacent San Giorgetto) is here:

The portal was once adorned with fifteenth-century reliefs of scenes
from P.'s life; two of these remain:

P.'s tomb is in Milan's church of Sant'Eustorgio. Created in 1335-39 by
Giovanni di Balduccio, it has moved around a bit but now is housed in
the church's Cappella Portinari:

As Phyllis noted, P.'s popular cult was virtually immediate. Does this
expandable view of late fifteenth-century depiction of supplicants at
his tomb:
http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/b/berrugue/pedro/tomb_pet.html
show a scene that might have taken place before he was placed in his
fourteenth-century tomb? Was the painter (Pedro Berruguete) simply
clueless about the physical form of the latter? Or was the actual tomb
too ornate for the taste of the patron (Torquemada)?
Here's P. as represented by Berruguete:

And here's an expandable view of an almost exactly contemporary
depiction of him (at left, obviously) in a panel from Carlo Crivelli's
altarpiece for the church of San Domenico at Camerino (MC) now at the
Brera in Milan:
