Porta Leoni is the 1st century BC ruin of the Roman city gate.
But the great touristic star of Verona is the Roman amphitheatre, the Arena di Verona.
#arenadiverona is the largest in Italy after Rome’s Colosseo and the arena of Capua.
The Castel Vecchio Bridge was built in 1355. It had the world’s largest span at the time of its construction (50 meters).

Once you have passed the Castelvecchio bridge, you can decide to visit also the Austrian arsenal Franz Josef I, and walking along the riverside you will have a beautiful overall view of the city.
