VERONA REVIEW

THE ENGLISH GUIDE TO VERONA
Verona Review is a web guide to the Italian city of Verona, written exclusively in English. The aim of the site is to highlight the city's most interesting places with hundreds of original photos, providing ideas and inspiration to new visitors. Situated in the Northern Italian region of Veneto, Verona has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the year 2000, recognised for its monuments from the Classic, Medieval and Renaissance periods. Major sights include the Verona Arena, a Roman Amphitheatre built in AD 30 and there are many other monuments from this period including the City Gates. The city is also blessed with wonderful Squares including Piazza Bra, Piazza dei Signori and Piazza delle Erbe while two of its bridges, Ponte Scaligero (or Castelvecchio Bridge) and Ponte Pietra are among the most scenic in the whole country. There are dozens of great Museums and Art Galleries and it's impossible to ignore the heritage of Romeo and Juliet which courses through the centre, leading many people to consider this the "City of Love". I'm here to help as well so if there's something you're not sure about just write to me, Dion Protani via info@italyreview.com and I'll be happy to advise.

Verona  Highlights


Verona  In - Focus

Castelvecchio ("old castle" in Italian) is the medieval fortress that nowadays houses a museum of the same name. The castle dates back to the 14th century when it was constructed by the powerful Scaliger family (whose name you will find in many places throughout the city) to provide a defence against warring neighbours, among which were the Venetians. The castle stands on the banks of the Adige river that flows through the city and is connected to the famous bridge which shares the name of the castle but is often referred to as Ponte Scaligero. At one time the castle was surrounded by a moat which is now empty and forms -

- part of the castle complex. Inside the castle museum you'll find an interesting range of exhibits including sculptures, paintings and weapons. 

As with most sights in Verona it's easy to reach on foot. From Piazza Bra and the Verona Arena for example it takes just 6 minutes to walk to the castle. ​
