Lonely Planet review

At the Tomba di Giulietta, the museum contains frescoes transferred from sites across Verona and a collection of 1st-century Roman amphorae. The red marble coffin itself was long used as a drinking trough and only set up in its present 'Gothic' in the 20th century as tourists began to flock to see it!

The buildings here belonged to a medieval Franciscan monastery and upstairs is located the Museo degli Affreschi, which holds frescoes and fragments of frescoes brought here from various locations around the city. Some of them date as far back as the 12th century, although most are religious scenes done in the 16th century.
