Towards the end of the reign of Emperor Augustus, the second largest Roman amphitheater after the Colosseum in Rome was built in the first century AD: the Arena di Verona. Originally it was outside the city walls. Only at the time of the barbarian invasions in 265 was the arena enclosed by the city fortifications built by Emperor Gallieno. The remains of this fortification can still be seen near the arena in Piazzetta Mura Gallieno.

The arena was almost completely preserved until the tenth century. Only an earthquake in the eleventh century caused the outer wall to collapse. The "Ala", a wing of the outer wall consisting of five pilasters and arcades, has survived to this day and gives an idea of the original dimensions of the building.
In contrast to the Colosseum in Rome, which was used as a quarry in the Middle Ages, the Arena in Verona has been protected and cared for over the centuries. Today, the Arena di Verona is considered the best-preserved amphitheater from Roman times.

The monument of Verona par excellence. It is unmissable for its beauty, its uniqueness and its suggestion that reaches its peak during concerts and operas. Listening to a concert in the Arena gives you incredible emotions. Usually from April to October it is one of the monuments that can be entered on the first Sunday of the month for only 1 euro 💶. For more information about the list of museums and monuments that allow reduced entry, see the page museicivici.comune.verona.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=44798.
