City of lovers - Verona

Verona is one of the oldest and most fascinating Italian cities. It is situated on the banks of the river Adige, near Lake Garda. All important international roads pass through Verona, which allows the city to be a major center of commercial enterprises.

Verona delights its guests with its medieval splendor. It is not for nothing that Shakespeare set the lovers Romeo and Juliet in Verona. In part, he made this city the most famous among tourists and lovers who want romance.

There is still no record of how the city came to be, nor is there any description of its origins or the origin of its name. Verona was once listed as a Roman colony and turned into a powerful and healthy country, on the borders of the Roman Empire, all at the expense of a substantial trading location. When the Roman Empire fell, Verona continued to flourish under the various barbarian kings and reached, during the Della Scala dynasty, the height of its cultural formation in the 13th century. In 1404 the Venetian Republic took possession of the city. This protection lasted for Verona till Napoleon's attack in 1797, then in 1814 it was taken over by Austria and in 1866 it was united to the whole of Italy.

The Roman Amphitheatre is the most important and revered attraction of Verona. It is the third in importance, not taking into account the Roman Colosseum, and the arena in Capua. The city has a great number of charming churches. The Basilica, called San Zeno Maggiore, is the best architectural achievement of Romanesque times.

The most important attraction in Verona, for the most part for lovers, is the legendary House of Juliet. The house is continuously open to tourists. All Renaissance interiors, greet everyone with their love and tenderness.
