Castelvecchio

  Castelvecchio, also known as the Castelvecchio Museum, sits along the banks of the Adige River in Verona, specifically at Corso Castelvecchio. Built in the 14th century, this medieval castle once served as a defensive stronghold for the powerful Scaliger family. Today, it functions as an art museum, showcasing a diverse collection of sculptures, paintings, and decorative arts, spanning from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. Visitors can explore its impressive 130-meter-long bridge, which offers scenic views of the river and surrounding landscape, especially picturesque during the autumn months of October and November. As you wander through the castle's fortified walls and exhibitions, you’ll discover fascinating insights into Verona's rich history and art heritage.
