About this experience
As night falls and the streams of tourists subside, the city's landmarks are painted with magic, and the sacred symbols and invisible messages of the masters of antiquity are revealed before you. I will tell you about the legends and myths of ancient Verona. You will learn how gladiators lived and died, in which schools they studied, and how their bodies were used after death.
What to Expect
- Piazza delle Erbe - one of the oldest in Europe. In the past, it was a Roman forum.
- Piazza dei Signori, or Dante's square, described in the famous 'Divine Comedy'
- Scaliger Family Church and their mystical cemetery. You will appreciate this masterpiece of Gothic style.
- Basilica of St. Anastasia, shrouded in centuries-old secrets and mysteries. I will tell you who rebuilt it in the 13th century.
