Verona

Bridge over the Adige

If you are in the neighbourhood of Verona, you have to visit this city. An ancient city and a lot of very old buildings. In Verona you will find the Arena it was build in 30 after Christ. and it was destroyed in 1117 by an earthquake. Nowadays it is used as a theatre because the acoustic is very well. There are two more well kept Arena's in the world. Rome and El Djem. I have seen two of them, the next one should be Rome. The arena is situated on the Piazza Bra. If you take the road piazetta scalette Rubiani, you will reach ponte Vittoria. If you had turn left on the end of this road, you will enter Corso cavour. This road will take you to the bridge at castelvecchio. This is a really beautiful bridge crossing over the Adige.
