"Verona" a Verona Travel Page by Vanity666

Verona: a first glimpse of the city is love at first sight, and will entice you to come back and explore it thoroughly.
For the past two thousand years and more, the city walls enclose a unique and breathtaking range of art-works and monuments.

Recently awarded the status of a "World Heritage Site", Verona has delighted painters, poets, travellers and celebrities for centuries.

Verona is a work of art in itself: a fascinating cross-roads of historical periods and cultures (both classical and Germanic), a blend of both Nordic and "Mediterranean" influences; the city is at the same time both ancient and modern.

A walk through its narrow streets allows you to get in touch with its varied and fascinating past: traces of its splendid Roman origins, its prevailing medieval structure dating back to the time of knights and castles, its magnificent Renaissance palaces as well as the impressive fortifications which protect it.
A suggestive blend of art and history which continuously fascinates the onlooker.
