Verona-Romeo&Juliet's City

Verona is a city in the Veneto region of northeast Italy's most famous as the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Although the most popular destination, near Venice, Verona, many people consider visiting a relaxed and pleasant place. There are many tourists, but the number of tourists per square meter is lower. As well as the setting for the story of Romeo and Juliet is known, is a historic Verona Italy, a tangle of his past history and modern industry. One of the most powerful cities in the early reign of the Roman Empire, the old city of Verona, one of the best preserved sections of the country.


Juliet's house- Although the house is old, the balcony was added in 1936 and declared to be "Juliet's house" to attract tourists.


The Arena-Spectacular Roman amphitheater is crumbling on the outside, but still functioning today. It was the first Century AD in an elliptical shape and is the world's third largest amphitheater in the ancient world survived. Much of the outer ring was damaged during the earthquake of 1117, but the inner part is still intact.


Porta Borsari-The remains of a Roman gate, dates to at least the 2nd Century AD, but is almost certainly older.


Top of the Forum in Roman times, this is still a focal point of the city. Contains the 'Britney Verona "fountain of the 14th century" Gardello Tower', and a market that seems as quaint, has become another tourist cliché during its recent renovation.
