Verona is home to the Roman Amphitheater…Really!
Although the Colosseum, in Rome, and the Arena, in Verona look fairly similar from the outside, it is worth the trip to visit the slightly less popular Arena due to the fact that the interior has remained mostly in tact. In fact, it is still used today to seat up to 15,000 people for opera performances throughout the summer. The acoustics of the Arena are ideal for these musical performances, and anyone who has the opportunity to enjoy one of these shows will be impressed.
Many tourists are drawn to the size of the Colosseum, but Verona is home to the Roman amphitheater that is still being used. An impressive feat for a structure built almost 2000 years ago.
