Scaliger Castle and Bridge

The castle is entered by the small wooden drawbridge. On the other side of the lawn in the internal courtyard can be seen the giass entrance to the museum. Inside, one is immediately struck by the austere elegance of the walls.

The red-walled castle, majestic yet not without a hint of frivolity, was built between 1354 and 1356 at the orders of Cangrande II della Scala to serve the dual purpose of residential place and stronghold. It has witnessed centuries of complex and varied history and the dramatic vicissitudes which befell the city under successive periods of more..

The Arena

Of the outer ring, over 30 metres high, only the ala or "wing" survived the earthquake in 1117. The internal tiers of steps could seat about 30,000 spectators. Every summer since 1913 operas have been held at the Arena, the largest openair theatre of its kind.

The name Arena comes from the Latin word for sand, which covered the area where the games and entertainments were held. It is oval in shape. Its internal axis measures 74 by 44 metres, and its external axis 152 by 123 metres.

Duomo

In a small square, which complements it to calculated effect, is Santa Maria Matricolare, the Cathedral of Verona. Built on the site of a previous Early Christian church and consecrated in 1187, the Cathedral has a façade which is a perfect composite of Romanesque and Gothic forms. The grandiose porch, consisting of a double baldachin supported by columns resting on stylised lion figures, is particularly striking. The portal is the work of Nicolò, the same artist who was responsible for the porch of San Zeno; here he sculpted various figures, including prophets and animals, more..
