Travel guide to Verona, a tourist town in Italy, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Verona, Italy is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Verona. Verona means "very elegant city" in Latin. It was selected into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. It is also known as the "City of Love". Verona is regarded as the second largest city in Italy and the second largest city in the Veneto region after Venice. The story of Romeo in Shakespeare's famous work "Romeo and Juliet" takes place in this city called Verona. Romeo once proposed to Juliet on the balcony of Juliet's house. This tragic love story and Juliet's balcony have been passed down to future generations. Juliet's former residence is still preserved in Verona. "Juliet's balcony" in the former residence attracts millions of tourists every year. Juliet's balcony Casa di Giulietta Located near Piazza delle Erbe in the city center, it is said to have been the residence of Juliet, the heroine in Shakespeare's famous work "Romeo and Juliet". Juliet's House is an ancient building built in the 13th century. It has high walls and a round arch. The entrance is marked with "Casa di Giulietta" - Capuletti House. It was once owned by the Capuletti family, a prominent family in Verona. Juliet is the daughter of the Capuletti family. Verona Arena An ancient Roman amphitheater built in 30 AD. It is still in use today and is world-famous for its large-scale opera performances. It is one of the best preserved buildings of the current ancient amphitheater. In ancient times, the capacity of the hippodrome was close to 30,000 people. But in 1117 a major earthquake almost completely destroyed the outer ring and top floors of the structure, and the stones were reused for surrounding buildings. Piazza delle Erbe The forum was first built during the Roman Empire. On the north side of the square are the old town hall, the Lamberti Tower, the courthouse, and the Mazzanti House. On the west side is the Baroque Maffei Palace, decorated with Greek gods and the Lion of St. Mark, the symbol of the Republic of Venice, on the white marble columns. Many of the buildings facing the square have maintained their exterior wall paintings. On the south side of the square is the Merchant's House, now the Verona People's Bank Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore It is a Roman Catholic basilica dedicated to Saint Zeno. It is also a model of the city's Romanesque architecture, but what is even more talked about is the legend that the basement of this temple is the wedding place of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Castle Museum It is a medieval castle. Restoration took place between 1959 and 1973, which improved the appearance of the building and exhibits. When Scarpa was restoring the building, he recreated the restoration of the ancient building, the construction of the art gallery and the display of the exhibits as a whole.
