Audio tour · Verona Arena

1:55

You're standing on Piazza Bra, in front of the Verona Arena. This Roman amphitheatre is one of the best preserved anywhere, and after almost two thousand years it's still in use. It was probably finished around the year 30, which makes it older than the Colosseum in Rome. Back then it stood outside the city walls.
