The State Barracks of Castel San Pietro, or more simply Castel San Pietro, originally called Aerarialcasernen Castel San Pietro, is a military building located on San Pietro hill in Verona, in an elevated point characterized by a wide panoramic view of the Scaliger city, and for this reason a privileged destination for tourists and Veronese who can reach the square in front of the castle also via the Castel San Pietro funicular. The building was designed by the Austrian k.k. Genie-Direktion Verona stationed in the city and built between 1852 and 1858, when the remains of the wall curtain of the pre-existing castle, built at the end of the 14th century, were also restored.
