It is an elegant I century AD construction of the Roman architect Vitruvio, that celebrates the glory of the gens Gavia, an important Roman family of Verona.

It's the Scaligeri cemetery. As well as several sarcophagi, we find the three wonderful arches built for Cangrande I, Mastino II and Cansignorio.
It was the Forum, centre of city life during Roman times. The centre of the square contains the monuments that symbolise the different rulers of Verona: the most famous is the fountain, built during Scaligeri rule.
The Piazza dei Signori was the former centre of power in Verona. A large statue by the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri has dominated the square since 1865 and gave the square the nickname “Piazza Dante”.

5Informative, Interesting with an Excellent Guide
Booked the small group walking tour. Nice small group size of 7 of us. The guide, Francesco, was excellent. Humorous and full of knowledge of the city of Verona and its history. Pointed out lots of sights that we had missed walking around by ourselves. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.
5Great tour with excellent guide Benadetta
Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide Benadetta a Verona local. Enough detail at a steady pace although she was able to amend the route to accommodate people’s wishes. Warm and friendly with a great sense of humour which made the tour even more enjoyable.

About Verona
Verona, in Veneto, is a Roman and medieval city on a loop of the Adige, with a vast arena, Juliet's balcony and Lake Garda close by.
The Adige curves around Verona's old centre, and the city's Roman past is plain to see in the Arena, an amphitheatre of the first century that still stages open-air opera in summer. Piazza delle Erbe, the market square on the old Roman forum, is lined with frescoed houses and has a column topped by the lion of Venice, and the Torre dei Lamberti beside it can be climbed. The historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Top-ranked sights in Verona: Verona Historic Center (Verona Centro Storico) , Piazza delle Erbe, Verona Arena.
