The Roman amphitheater Arena di Verona is the most famous monument of Verona. Today the Arena of Verona is embedded in the city center and forms part of the backdrop of the Piazza Brà. ​

Verona's most important monument from Roman times, with its mighty stone steps and the actual central arena, which was intended for gladiator fights, animal fights or other popular events and demonstrations, was built from mighty blocks of marble in the 1st century AD. Among the monuments of this type, it is undoubtedly one of the best preserved. ​

The arena has always been used primarily for events and performances of all kinds. In the Middle Ages and up to the middle of the XVIII. In the 19th century, tournaments and competitions were held in the arena. In 1913 it was finally discovered for what it is today: the world's first real and most important open-air theater for opera festivals. ​

The Piazza Brà with the pink marble promenade and the equestrian statue of King Vittorio Emanuele II is the largest piazza in Verona. The square is lined with cafés, restaurants and notable buildings such as the Arena, City Hall and the Palazzo della Gran Guardia. A shady garden surrounds the Fontana delle Alpi fountain.

​

The Museo Lapidario Maffeiano is located near the Arena. In addition to the archaeological museum in the Roman theater, the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano also shows finds that give us an insight into the lives of people in earlier times. The museum, which is one of the oldest archaeological museums in Europe, displays Etruscan, Greek and Roman finds with a focus on stelae (gravestones) and urns. ​

The Piazza delle Erbe is completely framed by spectacular historic buildings (e.g. Palazzo Maffei) and exudes a unique flair. Today, residents and tourists alike flock here to relax with a glass of wine or an Aperol Spritz and soak up the atmosphere of the beautiful setting. In the center of the square is the ancient fountain Fontana di Madonna Verona. ​

Due to its height and appearance, the Torre dei Lamberti is the dominant and most impressive building in Piazza delle Erbe and the neighboring Piazza dei Signori. It is 84 meters high in total, making it one of the tallest buildings in Verona. From the top you get a spectacular view of the old town. ​

It appears like an inner courtyard, the Piazza dei Signori. This impression is created by the magnificent buildings that surround the square in the center of Verona and are connected by gates and arcades. Political and administrative life was regulated from these buildings, particularly during the Scaliger period. In the center of the piazza is a three meter high Dante monument made of white Carrara marble. ​
