Old Castle in Verona - details and images
Castelvecchio, translated as “old castle” in English, was built in the 13th century by the della Scala family.
In 1404, Verona became part of the Venetian Republic. The castle then was used as a military installation and became home to the Venetian military academy. In 1925, Castelvecchio officially left its military associations behind and became an art museum.
The present day Castelvecchio Museum now offers a wide range of art pieces for the discerning visitor. The sculpture gallery has two rooms filled with various sculptures, jewellery, frescoes and epigraphs from the late Medieval and Romanesque periods. The museum also boasts of a weapons hall and decorative arts display. Veronese paintings from the medieval period up to the 18th century are also on display in the museum.
