Located just off the piazza, The Scaliger Tombs or Arche scaligere are five Gothic monuments built in honour of the Scaliger family who ruled the city of Verona in the 14th century. The graves are in the shape of a small temple and considered to be the most outstanding examples of Gothic art. History is plentiful in Verona, and here it comes to life.
Do & See
The whole centre of Verona is well worth visiting, and brimming with its rich collections of churches and palaces. Crowds flock to the house and tomb of Juliet, whose tragic love-story with Romeo was immortalised by William Shakespeare.
