Verona, Italy ,Walking Tour 4K

Verona, amazing, charming, romantic, wonderful city in beautiful Italy.
When Verona is mentioned, almost all of us think of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - the tragic story of two lovers that took place here. Verona is therefore perceived as a city of love, which is soaked in a romantic atmosphere and picturesque streets.
The first place you will see upon your arrival in Verona will most likely be Piazza Bra. Various shops, restaurants are grouped on this wide square, and above all, one unique building cannot be overlooked here - the Arena di Verona, or the Verona Amphitheater. The Arena di Verona is the third largest amphitheater in all of Italy, and for being built in 30 AD, this Roman amphitheater is unusually well preserved. The Verona amphitheater was used for gladiator fights, entertainment shows and public executions. It can hold more than 20,000 spectators and since 1913 famous opera performances have been held here every year.
Piazza delle Erbe and Madonna Verona
If you take one of the small busy streets from Piazza Bra, you cannot miss another picturesque place, and that is Piazza delle Erbe. Erbe Square used to be a Roman forum and today we can admire the beautiful facades of medieval houses decorated with extensive paintings. In the center of the square itself, you cannot miss the massive fountain, on which stands a statue of a woman with a crown on her head. This is Madonna Verona – the symbol of the city of Verona. However, the name of the statue has nothing to do with the Virgin Mary, we would translate it as "My Lady Verona". It is also interesting that the Madonna of Verona statue itself dates from the Roman period, but the head and hands are already from the Middle Ages. In the 14th century, the Verona Madonna was transferred to the Piazza delle Erbe at the behest of the ruler of the city, Cansignoria della Scala, who managed to bring water to the city from a nearby stream.
Juliet's house - Casa di Giulietta
If you were to return from Piazza delle Erbe along Via Capello, you would immediately encounter crowds of other tourists. Why? The world-famous Juliet's house is located here, or more precisely, the house of the Capelletti family, which served as a kind of model for the story of Romeo and Juliet. We don't know if a Juliet really lived here, but it is definitely a must-see for every visitor to Verona. At Via Capello 23, a passage leads to a picturesque courtyard decorated with a bronze statue of Juliet, and there is also a view of the famous balcony from which Juliet watched her Romeo. Of course, there is also a souvenir shop with Romeo and Juliet motifs, where you can buy a small lock and then hang it directly in the courtyard as a proof of your love.
Lamberti Tower - Torre dei Lamberti
Near Julia's house is the medieval 84-meter-high Lamberti Tower, which offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. The construction of the Torre dei Lamberti began as early as the 11th century, while the final completion was said to have been celebrated only in 1403. After climbing the 368 steps (or you can take a modern elevator), you will see a truly extraordinary spectacle - all the sights of Verona Italy will be in the palm of your hand . The Torre dei Lamberti is open every day, and if you visit on Mondays from 10:00 to 18:00, you will get a ticket at a discounted price of €5.
Tombs of the Scaligers - Arche scaligere
The Arche Scaligere can be found in the very center of the city right next to the church of Santa Maria Antica. These are the Gothic tombstones of the Scaligers - the medieval rulers of Verona. Although the Arche Scaligere are surrounded by an iron wrought iron grid, the visitor is sure to be captivated by their ornate Gothic architecture dating back to the 14th century. The most remarkable in this regard is the "sarcophagus" of Mastin II. della Scala, which is decorated with four reliefs with the most important biblical scenes - the story of Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark and the very temptation of Adam and Eve.
Scaligero Bridge and Castelvecchio Castle
The Scaligera Castle of Castelvecchio and the adjacent Ponte Scaligero from the 14th century are another work of art that has no equal in the world. It is located right next to the aforementioned Arco dei Gavi, while these buildings also remember the sad events of past centuries. In 1945, the Ponte Scaligero was blown up by the retreating Wehrmacht units, and in the post-war years it was completely rebuilt from the parts at the bottom of the Adige River.
