The Arena of Verona is a Roman amphitheater located in the historic center of Verona, an icon of the Veneto city along with the figures of Romeo and Juliet. It is one of the great buildings that characterized Roman architecture and one of the ancient amphitheaters that has reached us with the best degree of conservation, thanks to systematic restorations carried out since the 16th century; precisely for this reason, despite the numerous transformations it has undergone, it allows the visitor to easily understand the structure of this type of building, rigorously subject to the function for which they were intended but nonetheless endowed with an essential beauty. During the summer months, it hosts the famous Veronese lyric festival, whose seasons have been running continuously since 1913, while for the rest of the year it is a destination for many international singers and musicians.
