Castelvecchio is a castle in Verona, northern Italy. It is the most important military construction of the Scaliger dynasty that ruled the city in the Middle Ages.

Stone bridge, once known as the Pons Marmoreus, is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona.
WHERE TO EAT
I found a very special and romantic place called Darí Enoteca Ristorante. The location inside and outside it’s amazing, and food too, takes a glass of Valpolicella (the wine of the area). Every room it’s different and is so special. From the menu, I suggest you all the Baccalá dishes (very typical in this region) and the Cannelloni.
