What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Arena di Verona

   Pass by

   First obligatory stop in the city of the Scaligeri; an imposing Roman amphiteatre from the I century a.C., where nowadays international shows take place.

2. 2

   Casa di Giulietta

   Pass by

   In via Cappello at number 23, according to the legend, Juliet’s House is located with her famous balcony.

3. 3

   Piazza delle Erbe

   Pass by

   The evocative square in the middle of the city centre, which is framed by palaces and buildings that have marked the history of Verona; also nowadays a charateristic market takes place.

4. 4

   Piazza dei Signori

   Pass by

   The two medioeval squares of the city; the first one called also “Piazza Dante” because of the statue dedicated to the father of the Italian language, whereas the second one included the imposing Lamberti Tower and Palazzo della Ragione.

5. 5

   Cortile Mercato Vecchio e Scala della Ragione

   Pass by

   The construction works of Palazzo della Ragione began in 1193 and after three years they must already have been a good point if in 1196 in some documents the presence of a Palacium Communis Veronae is mentioned. The palace was presented as a sober, simple and fortified structure. Originally it had to be completed by four corner towers; in addition to the Torre dei Lamberti, there was that of the Cappella or Torrazzo, located in the corner between piazza delle Erbe and the current via Cairoli, and the tower of the Masseria, in the corner between today's via Cairoli and via Dante. For the general architectural balance, another corner tower probably had to stand between Via Dante and Piazza dei Signori, of which, however, no documentation remains.

6. 6

   Arche Scaligere

   Pass by

   Monumental funerary complex in Gothic style that hosts the final resting place of the Lords of Verona, Della Scala.

7. 7

   Romeo's House (Casa di Romeo)

   Pass by

   A typical medioeval house, great and externally well preserved.

8. 8

   Ponte Pietra

   Pass by

   The only remaining bridge from Roman times; built in the I century a.C.
