Arena di Verona
The Arena di Verona, an extraordinarily preserved Roman amphitheater in Piazza Bra, stands as a testament to Verona's rich past and a vibrant center for cultural events today. Built in the 1st century AD, this iconic landmark hosts world-renowned opera performances and concerts within its ancient walls.

A visit to the Arena is a journey through time, a chance to connect with Verona's ancient soul.

Facing Piazza Bra, Palazzo Barbieri is a striking neoclassical palace that serves as Verona's City Hall. Originally designed as a military headquarters during Austrian rule, its imposing façade, adorned with grand columns, reflects the city's historical and civic importance. Step inside to admire the richly decorated interiors, and appreciate the building's architectural elegance as a symbol of Verona's governance and enduring legacy.

From the historic Capitello to the baroque Palazzo Maffei, every corner of Piazza delle Erbe tells a story, making it an unmissable highlight of Verona's cultural heritage.
Piazza dei Signori
Piazza dei Signori, also known as Piazza Dante, is Verona's most elegant square, a serene oasis of Renaissance architecture and historical significance. Enclosed by majestic palaces like the Loggia del Consiglio and the Palazzo del Governo, this refined square reflects the city's political and cultural power during the Scaliger era. Admire the statue of Dante Alighieri at its center, a tribute to the poet's connection to Verona. Escape the crowds and savor the quiet grandeur of this historical gem, where history and architecture intertwine in perfect harmony.
