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
