Welcome at Arena of Verona!
- UNESCO World Heritage -
We can start from Piazza Bra
(from the old German word breit meaning wide):
it lies to the south of the Roman city,
outside its town walls, and is dominated
by the Arena amphitheatre, the third largest
such building built in the time of Flavius
(1st Century A.D.): it is a clear sign of
the importance of ancient Verona, as it could
hold more than 20.000 spectators. Today, it
is the Summer home of great lyric opera,
applauded by thousand of people. The outer
circle, of which just four arches over three
storeys remain, collapsed following the
earthquakes of 1117 and 1183, whereas the
inside seating is the work of an admirable
restoration project begun in the XV Century.
