Its current capacity is 22,000 seats and it is still one of the most prestigious open venues at global level, which hosts multiple major events such as summer seasons of opera, known as “Arena di Verona Festival” or the opening and closing ceremony of 2026 Milan - Cortina Winter Olympics.

Museo di Castelvecchio

nother important attraction is the castle of Castelvecchio, the residence of the family Scala, ruler of Verona and surrounding Veneto areas from the 13th to 14th century. Located at a strategic position of crossroad between Milan and Venice Kingdom from East to West and Austria/Germany vs Florence/Rome Kingdom from North to South, Verona was constantly conquered and protected by different rulers along its history, which made it an excellent example of a military stronghold.
