Located in Piazza Bra the majestic Arena is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman monuments in Italy.
Constructed in the 1st century, the Arena di Verona served as a stage for brutal gladiatorial games in Roman times.
While you can’t catch a gladiator match these days, the Arena is now world famous for large-scale opera performances. In ancient times, the Arena housed nearly 30,000 people. While not as massive as the Roman Colosseum, the amphitheater comes alive during opera season.
Verona is known as the City of Opera because of the ancient Arena; its reputation is cemented by the tragic love story between young Romeo and Juliet.
Piazza delle Erbe which translates to “square of herbs”, is the oldest gathering spot in the city.
As the name implies, there’s all sorts of herbs for sale in the marketplace, as well as clothes, food and other souvenirs. All the major sightseeing attractions in Verona are clustered here, including Torre dei Lamberti, Casa dei Giudici and Palazzo del Comune. A short walk away are Romeo’s House, Juliet’s House and the Arche Scaligere.
