Castelvecchio
The 14th-century fortress, Castelvecchio was raised by Cangrande II (of the Scaligeri family), little loved by the townspeople and anxious to protect himself against threats from home and abroad. Having gone to all that trouble, he was stabbed to death by his charming brother Canfrancesco inside the fortress walls. The restored fortress houses a museum with a diverse collection of paintings, frescoes, jewellery and medieval artefacts.

Take the lift at the back of the theatre to uncover Greek, Roman and Etruscan finds - and superb views over the city from the historic chapel at the top.

Tomba di Giulietta
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!
