Italy's Little Jewel
by Goner
Verona has it's own particular charm. The buildings are very colorful, some even frescoed. Each winding street has something new to offer whether it's Roman ruins, cafes, churches, ornate windows, views of the river, or the people of Verona. The three hours I was there was definitely not enough time to see all the sites, I suggest you stay for at least a day or two.
River Adige
by Jeca011
Verona is located on banks of river Adige. After a short period of French domination, in 1801 Verona fell under Austrian rule and for a few years the river Adige became the border between the French, who occupied the area of the main city centre, and the Austrian, who had the other side. There are several beautiful bridges over this river.
Statues
by Azhut
One thing that I have always appreciate is to look at the monuments and statues dedicated to famous men and woman. Honestly I don' t know who the man in the picture is but I suppose he is an army officer engaged assoldato by the Serenissima.
Giardino Giusti
by croisbeauty
The gardens were designed as backdrops for the Giusti Palace, and are terraced in order to gradually uncover the view of the city, following a predetermined path.
Its famed cypress avenue, facing the 16th century atrio, climbs up to a stalactite grotto under a towering mascherone, built to emit tongues of flame from its mouth.
The belvedere offers one of the most beautiful panoramas of Verona.
San Zeno
by croisbeauty
The magnificent look of the apse and Romanesque bell-tower of the basilica of San Zeno. The roof and the apse were rebuilt in the Gothic period.
The weathered Veronese stone of which the basilica is built has a warm golden tone, and the restrained lines of the pillars, the columns, the cornices and the gallery with its double windows give the whole facade an ar of harmonious elegance.
