Verona - Verona is a historic city in the Veneto region of northern Italy, famous for its 1st-century Roman Arena, medieval architecture, and as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Sightseeing Verona

The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheatre located in the historic center of Verona, Italy. It is among the best-preserved ancient amphitheatres to have survived into the modern era. This remarkable state of preservation is largely due to systematic restoration efforts that began in the 16th century.[1]

During the summer months, the Arena hosts the Arena di Verona Festival, with opera seasons that have run uninterrupted except by wars since 1913.[note 1] Throughout the rest of the year, it serves as a concert venue.
