Stop 2

The Castelvecchio Bridge, also known as the Scaliger Bridge, is an infrastructural and military work located in Verona along the Adige River, part of the Castelvecchio fortress, and considered the most daring and admirable work of Veronese medieval times.

The Arch of the Gavi, located along the ancient Via Postumia in Verona, just outside the walls of the Roman city, is a rare case of an honorary and monumental arch for private use in Roman architecture. It was indeed built around the middle of the 1st century to celebrate the Gavia family.

Stop 5

Piazza delle Erbe (or simply Piazza Erbe) is the oldest square in Verona and is located above the area of the Roman Forum. In Roman times, it was the center of political and economic life; over time, the Roman buildings gave way to medieval ones. In 2012, it was considered the most beloved Italian square in the world.
