Verona - a cultural metropolis with Roman roots 

Verona is a city in northern Italy, located south of Lake Garda on the River Adige. The city was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC and was an important military and trading centre. Many ancient buildings have survived the millennia and can still be admired today. The most famous building is the arena, a Roman amphitheatre that was built in the 1st century AD and had room for 30,000 spectators. Today, the arena is used as a venue for operas, concerts and festivals. In the Middle Ages, the Scaligeri, Visconti and Venetians built magnificent palaces and churches, such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Matricolare, the Palazzo del Capitano and the Palazzo dei Mercanti.
