Arena di Verona: this great amphititheatre could hold up to 25.000 spectators and its interior is still perfectly preserved (even the acoustic), wheareas the exterior wall fell during an earthquake and there is only a portion, called the Ala, still standing

Number 27 of Via Cappello: there is the Juliet's House (La Casa di Giulietta), once owned by the Dal Cappello, or Capulet, family. A small marble balcony records the most famous verses of Shakespeare's tragedy, in which Romeo declares his love for Juliet as she stands on the balcony. Again according to the legend, this was the house where the beautiful Juliet the most famous of all Shakespeare's heroines, lived. It probably dates back to the 13th century, and has a brick façade with large trilobate windows.
