VERONA: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME IN PIAZZA DELLE ERBE
Piazza delle Erbe, in the heart of Verona, is a true journey through history and architecture. Once a Roman forum and commercial center during the Empire, it has preserved a lasting imprint of its past, which now blends harmoniously with the beauty of the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings surrounding it.
The square offers a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, where visitors can admire historic architecture, enjoy an aperitif, or join a guided tour to learn more about this extraordinary place. Among its highlights are the monument commemorating one of the first aerial bombings in history, which occurred during World War I, and the Torre del Gardello, dating back to the 13th century — a powerful witness to the square’s and Verona’s long history.
For the past five years, the square has also hosted the Casa Museo Palazzo Maffei, another architectural gem not to be missed. This magnificent building houses private art collections in its elegant rooms, offering a unique and immersive cultural experience that captures the spirit of Verona’s past.
A trip to Verona would not be complete without a visit to Piazza delle Erbe, where history, art, and beauty come together to offer an unforgettable experience in the heart of Italian culture.
