Castel San Pietro

  Perched on a hill adjacent to the historic center of Verona, Castel San Pietro offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich past. Built in the late 14th century, this fortress played a crucial role in defending Verona from invaders. Today, it serves not only as a vantage point providing panoramic views of the city but also as a serene park where locals and travelers come to stroll and relax. In April, the surrounding gardens emerge in bloom, showcasing a variety of plants and inviting picnickers to enjoy the scenery. Visitors can explore the remnants of the castle's architecture while capturing stunning photographs of the adjoined Adige River and the iconic Ponte Pietra.
