Ponte Pietra

Highlight • Bridge

Ponte Pietra is the first construction built by the Romans when they arrived in Verona in the 1st century BC. It is characterized by the combination of two different materials: the original white stone and the bricks that replaced the damage suffered by floods and war. It retains the characteristic donkey-back shape of Roman bridges.

If I compare the towns/cities of Padua, Vicenza and Verona, all three are very beautiful cities. For me, however, Verona is the winner.

Arena of Verona

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
