Verona Day 3

Romulus and Remus suckling from the wolf at the end of the street I'm staying at

And so the arena. The 4th largest amphitheatre in Italy I believe. It is now home to Opera in the summer.

These steps could tell a story.

It is liberation day. So lots of people and celebrations 

We wandered to the river.

Back to the piazza bra for a nice lunch.

The church by the Scaligeri monuments hadn't been open so we popped into Santa Maria Antica,

A good day.

Verona Day 2

In which I took LOTS of photos so prepared to be overloaded!!

First stop was "Juliet's house". Obviously it wasn't hers but it is attributed as is now the place of legends,

The balcony,

So a wander to Piazza delle Erbe.

That Dante fellow.

Scrovgeni monuments. The church was shut

The Basilica di Santa Anastasia 

So off to the duomo

This is the baptistery.

Parts of the first Christian church in Verona (built in the 4th century) have been excavated.

The duomo was destroyed by earthquake in 1117 and replaced 3 years later in 1120 with building completing in 1187.

After a rather fine lunch we wandered along the river (lots of swallows)

And after refreshments went to San Fermo 

Excellent day. Oh nice to see Mallards on the river 😂
