Verona Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
For those more interested in Medieval times, there is the Castelvecchio (Old Castle), built by the city's rulers, the della Scala family, in the 14th century. It was restored in the 1960s by the famous Italian architect Carlo Scarpa who redesigned some of the castle's interior features.
The city's finest ecclesiastical building is the Basilicia of San Zeno Maggiore, which is regarded by many as one of the foremost examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe.
Verona also has one of Italy's finest Renaissance gardens, the Giardino di Palazzo Giusti. Also worth visiting is the Natural History Museum, which has interesting collections of zoological, botanical and geological items.
