Dark Historical Verona Walking Tour

About this activity

Experience this walking tour and learn about the darkest parts of Verona history. You will live some of the most cruel fights held in the Arena, you'll pass the old Jewish Ghetto and you'll hear about the cruel destiny of some of the people who lived there. Then, in Piazza Erbe, we'll undergo the sorrow and pain of the people exposed to the public shame, we'll pass the place where Mastiff I was murdered, reach the arch where the torture instruments were exposed, and then we'll see the Scala family Tombs, the courtyard where dozens of beheaded skeletons were found, and, of course, we'll end with the heart-breaking story of Romeo & Juliet. Be prepared to gasp and cry, to held your breath and feel touched and moved while living the ill-fated, hopeless human tragedies which occurred in the very places we'll be passing by.
