- The Arena, with its gigantic dimensions of 140 meters in length and 110 meters in width, dominates Piazza Bra and is the world's best preserved Roman amphitheater. Built in 1st century AD, thanks to its great acoustics, still provides hours of good music and entertainment with seating for 30000 people. (pass by)
- The famous castle is the most important military construction of the Scaliger dynasty that ruled the city in the Middle Ages. The castle is connected to the left bank of the Adige river by a fortified bridge, Ponte Scaligero, which had the largest supporting arch span in the world when completed in 1356. (pass by)
- This arch, built in white veronese marble and dedicated to the “Gavia”, an important Roman family, in the 1st century, used to stand in the middle of Corso Castelvecchio, connecting the city with the capital, Rome. The French dismantled it as it was considered a hindrance to traffic and dumped the pieces under the arches of the arena. It was reassembled where it now stands, piece by piece, in 1932. (pass by)
-
Piazza delle Erbehe Forum, centre of city life during Roman times, was situated here. The Piazza delle Erbe has continued to fill this same role for centuries: meeting place, home to the market, and also home to the city's administration The centre of the square contains the monuments that symbolise the different rulers of Verona: the most famous is the fountain, built using a Roman statue during Scaligeri rule and later known as the "Madonna Verona". On the far side of the square are the 14th century Gardello Tower and the Baroque Palazzo Maffei. The courtyard of the Palazzo del Comune leads on to the Lamberti Tower with its suggestive panoramic views over the city.
-
Arche ScaligereThese remarkable funerary tombs commemorate the Scaliger family who ruled Verona in 13th and 14th century. The most representative monument of the Gothic art, the tombs are placed within an enclosure of wrought iron grilles decorated with a stair motif, referring to the name of the della Scala family, meaning "of the stairs" in Italian.
-
Piazza dei SignoriConsidered the magnificent and refined living room of Verona, this square is also called “Piazza Dante”, for the statue of Dante Alighieri you can see in the centre. Ringed by elegant Renaissance buildings (the Palazzo della Ragione, the Palazzo del Capitano and Palazzo del Governo, the Loggia del Consiglio and the Domus Nova) assumes still today political and administrative functions during the day but it is also the chosen location of the university crowd.
-
Casa di GiuliettaThis is the reason why most of the tourists visit Verona, to visit and listen to one of the most romantic and tragic love story written by Shakespeare. This building, originally dating back to the 12th century, was owned for a long period by the Dal Cappello family, whose coat-of-arms is carved into the keystone of the courtyard inner archway. Identification of the name Cappello with that of Capuleti began the popular belief was inspiration for his famous play from a true story of family rivalry and of the eternal forbidden love.
