The Italian city of Verona is on the Adige River in Veneto, Italy. It is one of the main tourist destinations in the region of northern Italy, and even Italy as a whole, due to its artistic heritage and the fact that it hosts numerous annual fairs, shows, and operas, such as the lyrical season in the Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheatre. Perhaps its main draw is the fact that it is the setting of two of William Shakespeare’s plays, Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona, which has attracted millions of tourists to the city over the years.
UNESCO declared The city a World Heritage Site because of its unique urban architecture.
History of Verona
Not much is known about Verona’s early history. Some speculate that it was a city of the Euganei. This Proto-Italic ethnic group lived in an area between the Adriatic Sea and the Rhaetian Alps and were forced to give it up to the Cenomani, an ancient tribe of the Cisalpine Gauls (550 BC). The Veronese territory became Roman about 300 BC. Verona became a Roman colony in 89 BC.
In 489 AD, Verona was conquered by the Ostrogoths, and the Gothic domination of Italy began. In 569, it was conquered by the Lombards, and Verona became the residence of the kings of Italy.
The city continued to experience turbulent political events until medieval times.
During his rule, Cansignorio (1359–1375) beautified the city with palaces, established bridges and founded the state treasury.
From 1508 to 1517, the city was under the power of Emperor Maximilian I. There were numerous outbreaks of the plague, and from 1629 to 1633, Italy was struck by its worst outbreak in modern times, as over 60% of the population perished (around 33,000 people during 1630–1631.
Napoleon occupied Verona in 1797, but the people of Verona rose against him and drove him out. However, the Venetian Republic ended, and Verona became Austrian territory when Napoleon signed the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797. It was retaken from Austria in 1805 and became part of Napoleon’s Kingdom of Italy. Still, it was returned to Austria following Napoleon’s defeat in 1814 when it became part of the Austrian-held Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia.
1866 following the Third Italian War of Independence, Verona and the rest of Venetia became part of United Italy.
Top Attractions in Verona
Because of its world-renowned historical buildings, Verona has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Verona preserved many ancient Roman monuments (including the Verona Arena) dating back to the early Middle Ages, but the earthquake in 1117 destroyed or damaged many of its early medieval edifices.
Admire the Impressive Verona Arena
In the centre of Verona, in its largest Piazza, Piazza Bra, you’ll find the Roman military settlement now referred to as the Verona Arena. Verona is famous for its Roman amphitheatre, including the Arena, completed around 30 AD. It is the third-largest in Italy after Rome’s Colosseum and the arena at Capua. It could seat some 25,000 spectators. The interior is awe-inspiring and remains intact. It is still used today for public events, fairs, theatre and open-aired opera during the summer.
Visit the Fresh Market at Piazza delle Erbe.
Piazza delle Erbe (Herb Square) is Verona’s main town square. It was rebuilt by the lords of Verona using material from Roman spas and villas. The square does a great job of highlighting Verona’s historic charm, with its 14th-century Madonna statue and fountain surrounded by unique historic buildings.
The square is also lined with several bars where you can sit down, relax and enjoy people-watching over coffee or gelato. The piazza is also known as a shopping centre due to its market stalls and the Borsalino designer boutique. Various vital buildings line the square, including the Case dei Giudici, the Torre Lamberti, and the Palazzo Maffeia.
Remember Shakespeare’s Classic at Casa di Giulietta (Juliet’s House)
Possibly one of the most well-known attractions in Verona, Juliet’s House draws thousands of crowds to the city every year, who hope to catch a glimpse of the house and the famous balcony, which serves as the setting for Romeo’s declaration of love for Juliet.
However, what is the natural history behind the famous house?
While the house dates back to the 13th century, the famous balcony wasn’t added until the 20th century. In 1905, the city of Verona bought it from the Cappello family. The similarity of their name to Capulet (Juliet’s surname) resulted in dubbing the home as ‘Juliet’s House’, thus turning it into a tourist attraction.
Visitors don’t only go there to admire the house itself; they also leave love notes on the courtyard walls. According to popular legend, you will be together forever if you leave a letter declaring your everlasting love at Juliet’s House. However, the practice has now been forbidden due to the damage it has caused to the house’s structure.
So, be careful! You may be fined up to 500 Euros if caught sticking a note to the walls.
Although the practice of sticking notes has been forbidden, people still write letters to Juliet asking for her love advice. A team of volunteers dubbed ‘Juliet’s Secretaries’ answers these letters out of an upstairs room in the house.
The house and the letters became the subject of a film called ‘Letters to Juliet’ starring Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave.
Another myth connected to the house concerns the statue of Juliet in the courtyard. It is thought that touching the statue’s right breast will bring you luck in finding your true love.
Inside the house, you’ll find authentic pieces from the time of Romeo and Juliet, allowing you to get an idea of life in a rich house in Verona in their lifetime. The museum has Renaissance-era costumes and the bed used in Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
San Zeno Maggiore
The Basilica of San Zeno is one of the most important churches in Verona, not only due to its stunning architecture but also because it was the fictional place where Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet married.
Located west of the River Adige, the Basilica can be found in the Piazza San Zeno.
The front façade of this church has a large central circular window and a beautiful ornate wooden door.
Inside the Basilica, marble columns support the arches, and the ceiling has a series of decorative tilework.
Roam the Famous Piazza Bra
Piazza Bra is the largest square in Verona; some say it is even the largest in Italy and Europe. The piazza has numerous cafés and restaurants and several notable buildings: the Verona Arena, Verona’s town hall, and the Palazzo Barbieri.
The Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II, the first ruler of a united Italy, dominates the centre of the piazza. The fountain in the park (Fontana Delle Alpi) was constructed on the occasion of Verona’s pairing with Munich and was built by the Germans. In return, a statue of Juliet was erected in the ancient town hall in Munich. You can also find a memorial for the displaced Italians in German concentration camps under the trees at Piazza Bra.
Some buildings surrounding the Piazza Bra are over 2,000 years old, including the Verona Arena, built two centuries ago by the Austrians and now a world-renowned music venue. You can sit on its sprawling steps to view the Piazza Bra.
The Roman can be seen around the northern corner of the square. The Portoni del Bra archway and remnants of the ancient city wall enclose the piazza to the south. The Palazzo Gran Guardia and the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano are right by the city walls.
Palazzo Barbieri, on the eastern side of the piazza, was built in the 19th century by architect Giuseppe Barbieri. It has been the municipal administration’s office since 1869.
Built in the seventeenth century and designed by Domenico Curtoni, the Grand Guard is an impressive building. It has a stone stairway leading to a grand porch supported by twelve pillars with full centre arches.
Other attractions on Piazza Bra include the Palaces on the Listòn. The Ottolini Palace, designed by architect M. Castellazzi, is on the corner of Via Roma, near the Guglienzi-Brognoligo Palace, which is in the Renaissance style of the 15th century. The 16th-century-style Fracasso-Gianfilippi Palace can also be found nearby. The Guastaverza Palace was also built in the mid-sixteenth century according to a design by Sammicheli.
The Piazza Bra has an abundance of excellent restaurants and cafes. If you have enough time, you should undoubtedly relax and enjoy the views of this beautiful and historic square.
Enter the Old Town Through Portoni della Bra
The Portoni della Brà are the two arches of the town gate south of the Piazza Bra. If you step through the arches, you will find the Porta Nova, which connects the old town with the fortifications in the south. The Portoni della Brà were not originally designed as a city gate but were intended as a passageway between the Castelvecchio and the Citadel.
Witness Dante’s Inspiration at Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore
Built from 1123–1135, the Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore is a Romanesque-style church constructed over the 4th-century shrine to Verona’s patron saint, St. Zeno (died 380). The façade dominates the large square bordered by a 72-metre-tall bell tower, which Dante mentions in Canto 18 of Purgatory in the Divine Comedy. Each side of the doorway is ornamented with 18 bas-relief panels of biblical scenes, and the inner bronze door panels have 48 depictions of Biblical scenes and episodes from the life of St Zeno. The church’s interior walls are covered with 12th and 14th-century frescos, and the nave’s ceiling is a magnificent example of a ship’s keel ceiling. The crypt contains the tomb of the first Bishop of Verona, St. Zeno, and the tombs of several other saints, as well as the tomb of King Pippin of Italy.
Go Back to Roman Times at Porta Borsari
The Porta Borsari is an ancient Roman gate built in the 1st century AD as the southwestern entrance to ancient Verona. The gate’s name came in the Middle Ages when customs officials (i.e., bursarii) were stationed there to tax goods. The original building contained an inner court. It was rebuilt in 265 AD with a new limestone facade. The gate also leads to the Corso Porta Borsari shopping centre.
If you move from the Porta Borsari south on the Corso Cavour, you’ll find yourself walking on a 2,000-year-old road that, in Roman times, connected Genoa, Verona, and Trieste. Numerous palaces line the road to the Castelvecchio, such as the Palazzo Bevilacqua and the Palazzo Canossa, both built-in 1530. Interestingly enough, the high-water marks of the Adige River, which flooded Verona several times in its history, can be seen in many buildings.
Other nearby attractions include the Galleria Officina d’Arte, the Church of Sant’Eufemia, the Foro Romano in Piazza Erbe, the Monumento alle vittime del 1915, Torre dei Lamberti, La colonna di San Marco, the Case dei Mazzanti, the Museo d’arte, La fontana di Madonna Verona, and the Fondazione Museo Miniscalchi Erizzo.
Visit the Former Town Center at Piazza dei Signori
The Piazza dei Signori was the former centre of Verona. Many beautiful buildings belonging to the former city government line the piazza, including the court and the seat of power of the Scaliger family. The famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri erected a giant statue in 1865 in the square, giving it the nickname “Piazza Dante.”
One of the most significant buildings is the Loggia del Consiglio, opposite the Palazzo del Comune. It was built by Fra Giocondo in 1476 and is a magnificent example of the Venetian Renaissance style. The building features statues by Alberto da Milano of famous Italians born in Verona, such as Gaius Valerius Catullus, Pliny the Elder, Aemilius Macer, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio and Cornelius Nepos.
The Casa della Pièta is left of the Loggia. Its unique façade depicts a seated woman with a flag, symbolising the city of Verona during the rule of Venice.
The Palazzo del Podestà, also called Palazzo del Governo, is right next to the Loggia del Consiglio and was once the seat of power for the Scaliger family. The Arco della Tortura, named after the torture instruments of the Veronese judges hung here, connects the Palazzo del Podestà with the Palazzo dei Tribunali.
The Palazzo dei Tribunali (the court) dates back to 1575 and is connected by an arch to the Palazzo del Comune. The Porta Bombardiera, decorated with two cannons in the palace courtyard, contains a courtyard where you will find excavations of the Roman foundations and parts of a mosaic floor. The last palace in the town centre is the Palazzo dei Giudici, where the court of Verona has been based since 1731.
Marvel at Ancient Roman Architecture at Castelvecchio
Built in the middle of the 14th century after the Verona arena, it is one of the city’s most significant monuments.
Castelvecchio is a vast fortress, accentuated by the battlements along the walls and the seven towers. It was erected between 1354 and 1357 by Cangrande II della Scala, who, in an era of tumultuous wars, wanted to transfer his court to a secure manner. The complex consists of two parts, divided by the imposing thirteenth-century walls. In the centre stands the high central tower (Torre del Mastio) from which the fortified Scaligero bridge with three arches rises over the river, which integrates the defensive system of the castle, constituting a magnificent example of fourteenth-century engineering.
On the right side of the structure, there is a large rectangular courtyard, intended initially as a parade ground; in the centre is a curious dog-shaped fountain, a Scaligerian symbol of fidelity. Under Venetian domination, it was used as an arsenal and garrison; during the Napoleonic occupation, the structure was modified, and the building along the river was built; with the Austrians, it was used as a barracks for the occupying troops.
During the first decades of the twentieth century, Castelvecchio was subjected to a significant restoration and transformed into a museum (inaugurated in 1923), the prestigious seat of the civic art collections previously kept in Palazzo Pompei. In January 1944, it hosted the Verona Process (Verona Trial), through which Benito Mussolini condemned to death the traitors of the regime. At the end of the war, it was damaged by bombing by the Anglo-Americans.
In 1923, it became the Verona Museum. In 1957, a restoration process began, led by Carlo Scarpa, making Castelvecchio one of the most exciting exhibition structures in the world. Today, architects and architecture students worldwide travel to Castelvecchio to study its magnificent architectural solutions.
The museum starts on the ground floor, where you’ll find an incredible exhibition of Romanesque and Gothic sculptures. The art collections are exhibited around the rooms and passageways inside and outside the Castelvecchio courtyard, walls and battlements, while the old Scala family residential building hosts the paintings gallery.
In Castelvecchio, you will also find many precious 14th-century jewels and ancient weapons, among which you’ll encounter the sword of Cangrande, taken from his tomb in 1927 when his sarcophagus was opened for the first time.
Cross the Castelvecchio Bridge (also known as Ponte Scaligero)
The Castelvecchio Bridge is a fortified bridge over the River Adige. It was built around 1354 by Lord Cangrande II to facilitate escape from his fortress. The bridge remained intact until the end of the 18th century when French troops destroyed the left bank tower.
It is a magnificent bridge with three arches that perfectly integrates and completes the defensive system of the great medieval castle. Initially, the bridge was accessible only from the castle’s internal courtyard, and even during the years of Austrian domination, military use of the latter was allowed only after 1870 when a new arch was opened near the Tower of the Clock. Just over one hundred meters long (101.84), it was built on a project by the Veronese architect Guglielmo Bevilacqua.
During World War II, the Germans destroyed the bridge and Ponte Pietra in 1945. Reconstruction began in 1949 and was completed two years later on all but the left tower.
Legend has it that the bridge’s designer, Guglielmo Bevilacqua, arrived at the inauguration ceremony riding a horse, ready to flee if the bridge came crumbling down. When the bridge was seen to be a success, Cangrande reportedly presented Bevilacqua with a sword belonging to Saint Martin.
The Ponte Scaligero is one of the most impressive and ingenious achievements of the Italian Middle Ages. Even today, one remains entranced by its daring arches, which cross the Adige, where the river makes an impetuous curve.
Walk along Ponte Pietra
Ponte Pietra is the oldest Roman monument in Verona. It was built in the 1st century BC to replace a preexisting wooden bridge. It connected the original route via Postumia with the hill in front of a Ford that has been used since dawn.
At the time of the Roman Empire, seven bridges crossed the Adige River in various parts of the city, and two did so near the Roman Theater: Ponte Pietra Bridge and Ponte Postumio. However, in 905, the Postumio Bridge was half-destroyed by a flood, and in 1239, it finally gave way to the river’s rush.
Ponte Pietra is an imposing and rustic structure due to the succession of different materials and styles matched to each other and harmonised in a “suggestive and scenographic whole, characterised by a particular chromatism for whites and the reds mixed with ingenious randomness, to obtain a romantically spectacular construction in which Roman classicism and the sumptuous simplicity of the medieval Romanesque blend “.
You can visit this lovely monument during the day or at night, when it is beautifully lit, making it one of the most romantic places in the entire city.
Castel San Pietro
Originally a church dedicated to Saint Peter, that is how the castle gained its name. It is located on the eastern bank of the Adige, on a slightly elevated hill and has been inhabited since Roman times.
The castle was built in the 1300s as a fortification for the city. Although the castle is no longer open to the public, you can still walk around its vast grounds and enjoy the fantastic views across to the historic centre of Verona.
If you’re there, you might as well ride in the Funicolare di Castel San Pietro, a cable railway, to admire the stunning views of Verona and the surrounding hills. The funicular comes out by 14th-century Castel San Pietro.
Another magnificent view can be enjoyed from the top of Ristorante Re Teodorico. The journey only takes a few minutes, and then you walk back down through zigzag stairs that lead to the Ponte Pietra.
Appreciate the Gothic Style of Sant’Anastasia
Sant’Anastasia is a Gothic-style church in Verona, located near the Ponte Pietra. The current church, designed by the Dominican friars Fra’ Benvenuto da Imola and Fra’ Nicola da Imola, was started in 1280 and completed in 1400. It was built on the site of a previous temple built by King Theoderic the Great. The church also has a 72-meter bell tower.
Enjoy the View from Torre dei Lamberti
At 84 meters above Piazza delle Erbe, Lamberti’s Tower (Torre dei Lamberti) is one of Verona’s tallest towers. Construction of the tower initially started in the 1100s, but it wasn’t until the 15th century that it was enlarged and renovated.
The 12th-century tower features a large clock and two bells, one playing the hourly chimes. After entering the adjacent Palazzo della Ragione, you can climb the well over 200 steps up to the top via a spiral staircase for around €6. It’s well worth it for the panoramic view along the way.
Arco dei Gavi
Located in the centre of Pizzata del Castelvecchio, the Arco dei Gavi was constructed during the 1st century AD. The noble Roman Gavi family commissioned it. The Romans used triumphal arcs to remember important events. The inscription on the arch originally read “Lucius Vitruvius Libertus”. During the Napoleonic era, the arch was demolished and not properly rebuilt using original designs until the 20th century.
You can now marvel at the arch next to the Castle Vecchio, which is also worth visiting at night because of the magnificent lighting.
The Arch is a trendy spot for tourists and graffiti artists. One of the nearby restaurants offers a good meal or a cup of coffee.
Biblioteca Capitolare
The Biblioteca Capitolare is the oldest library in Europe, dating back to 517 AD. It contains many manuscripts and illustrated documents and is one of Verona’s most fascinating cultural sights. It is located next to the Verona Cathedral; it houses the Canonical Museum and the Capitular Library, one of Europe’s oldest and most critical ecclesiastical libraries.
The library was active until the seventeenth century, when the oldest part of the collection was lost, having been moved while waiting to be reorganised. In 1630, the Plague struck Verona, killing almost two-thirds of the inhabitants, including the librarian who had hidden the precious manuscripts. They were found only in 1712 after meticulous research by Scipione Maffei. The interest aroused by the rediscovery led to the construction of the new headquarters of the library, which in 1781 was enlarged to accommodate the donations that continued to arrive.
The Biblioteca Capitolare is a must-visit for anyone interested in the written history of Verona.
Verona Cathedral
Consecrated in 1187, the Cathedral is one of the oldest religious buildings in Verona and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Although it is somewhat grander and more decorative than the Basilica of San Zeno, it is created in a similar style. The facade features fantastic artwork and stained-glass windows.
The interior is just as opulent and decorative as the exterior. The main altar has a stunning fresco depicting a religious scene, and the main chapels have more Renaissance frescos. Furthermore, a substantial gold organ stands to the right of the altar.
Pay your Respects to the Arche Scaligeri (The Scaliger Tombs)
For over 700 years, monumental tombs housed the bodies of the ancient Lords of Verona. The Arche Scaligeri (or the Scaliger Tombs) is where the Princes of the Della Scala family rest.
Situated a few steps from Piazza Erbe and Palazzi Scaligeri, next to the church of Santa Maria Antica, the site is externally protected by a massive stone fence topped by a fourteenth-century wrought iron gate. The gate is formed by rings surrounding the family’s heraldic symbol, supported by marble columns surmounted by statues.
The oldest tomb is bare and devoid of ornaments; it was built in 1277 to house the mortal remains of Mastino I, the ancestor of the dynasty. A little further on is the sarcophagus of his brother Alberto (1301). Precious and elaborate is the funeral monument of Mastino II (1350), equipped with a small quadrangular enclosure, on whose corner pillars rest statues of female figures depicting some of the Virtues.
Cangrande is depicted on the top of his monument in what has been described as the most beautiful equestrian statue in history (although the statue is a copy, the original is kept at the Castelvecchio Museo).
His figure is perhaps most famous thanks to Dante Alighieri, his guest between 1312 and 1318 during his exile from Florence. His visit must have had quite an impact since he also mentioned him in “Paradise” and even dedicated the whole book to his patron, the “magnificent and victorious lord of Verona”:
“So recognised shall his magnificence / Become hereafter, that his enemies / Will not have the power to keep mute tongues about it.”
Santa Maria in Organo
Michele Sanmicheli designed the 8th-century church, which used to be a Benedictine abbey and parish of the Patriarchate of Aquleia. The church was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1117 and also during the 15th and 16th centuries. Located on the Piazzetta Santa, it is the oldest house of worship in the city and a top-rated tourist attraction.
The church’s interior contains the artwork of Girolamo Savoldo, Domenico Morone, Francesco Morone, and Antonio Balestra. It has one of the oldest organs in the region.
Enjoy the Natural Landscapes in Giardino Giusti
The Giusti Gardens are located on the grounds of the Giusti Palace on the eastern bank of the Adige River. Built in the Neo-Classical style, the gardens are some of the lushest landscapes in Verona.
The Giusti Gardens are divided into eight squares, each containing a different design and a central fountain or decoration.
The gardens are still preserved and maintained with great care, and you can also have some fun in the hedge maze and a small wooded area to walk through.
Shop along Via Mazzini
Connecting two of Verona’s main piazzas, Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe, Via Mazzini is a narrow marble-paved street over half a kilometre long that is also considered the city’s main shopping street, with rows of modern fashion shops and boutiques, such as Gucci, Zara, Swarovski, Stradivarius and Michael Kors.
If you’ve just finished visiting Juliet’s House, just down the street, it is a must-do.
Relax by the Adige River
When you finish your tour around the city, you should find a spot by the Adige River to relax, wind down and enjoy the magnificent view of the flowing river. The area is littered with cafes, bars and restaurants where you can enjoy your time.
You may also go rafting if you still have some energy after a long day. For €25pp, you can raft from one end of the city to the other, paddling under a dozen beautiful bridges, catching a glimpse of the Castelvecchio from a new vantage point, and ending your trip at the ruins of the 300-year-old Venetian customs house.
Top Attractions Near Verona
Here are other great day trips if you’re staying in Verona for a few days and looking for something to do nearby.
Have an Adventure at Lake Garda
You can’t visit Verona without going on a day trip to Lake Garda to enjoy its mild climate and perfect water temperature. The lake between the Alps and northern Italy’s Po River Plain, bordering the three Italian Regions of Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto, is surrounded by palms oleander, olive trees and vines, in addition to the picturesque villages, beaches and little ports, parks and nature reserves.
Lake Garda is ideal for a tailor-made vacation for nature lovers, athletes, or history and culture buffs.
Suppose you want to get to know the history of the area. In that case, you can explore the numerous castles, monasteries, monuments and museums lining the lake’s shores, such as the prehistoric settlements in the Valtenesi and on Monte Baldo or the remains of Roman villas in Desenzano and Toscolano. You can also visit the medieval castles and Scaliger fortresses, the Sanctuaries of the Madonna del Frassino, Madonna di Montecastello and Madonna della Corona.
For a stroll among the gorgeous gardens with a view, head to the majestic Vittoriale and the André Heller Botanical Garden, which has over 2,000 plant varieties.
For some relaxation, visit Sirmione, which has an abundance of thermal spas.
If you‘re looking for more activity-based outings, here are some options:
You can go swimming, sailing, mountain climbing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, rafting and hang-gliding.
The beauty of Lake Garda has also been immortalised in the literature of Latin poet Catullus, whose family had a villa in Sirmione, and later by Dante, Goethe, Ugo Foscolo, Lord Byron, and Stendhal. James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Franz Kafka resided in the area for some time. To this day, artists, poets, and writers choose Lake Garda as their holiday destination for inspiration for their upcoming works.
Climb Up to the Madonna Della Corona (Sanctuary of the Lady of the Crown)
Madonna della Corona is located just over 45 kilometres north of Verona, approximately an hour away and close to Lake Garda. This church is situated right on a cliff on Mount Baldo. Its position is so unique that it is nearly hanging in mid-air.
The church, built in 1530, is so secluded that it was once home to a hermitage where holy men would come for silent reflection away from the rest of the world.
Thanks to its secluded location, the church survived into the 20th century in a well-preserved state. Today, the once dangerous mountain path to the chapel has been renovated to allow for easier accessibility, and the church remains a popular pilgrimage site for visitors coming to step on the Scala Santa, a duplication of the stairs up to Pilate’s palace that Jesus climbed before he was sentenced to be crucified.
