Castelvecchio in Verona is famous for its museum, but we are not really museum visitors at all. Maybe that’s because we’ve already seen a lot of exhibitions back home in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The variety is so huge that during our travels we tend to visit smaller specialised exhibitions or leave it alone altogether. The Castelvecchio in Verona houses a museum with exhibits from the 7th – 17th centuries. The silverware from the 7th century and paintings by Rubens, Veronese and Tintoretto are said to be particularly remarkable. For fans, it is certainly more than worthwhile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We walked leisurely along the Adige River and could enjoy the view of the Castelvecchio from afar. The imposing building, which was erected by Cangrande II della Scala between 1354 and 1356, stands directly on the river. The bridge over the Adige was intended to serve as an escape route for the castle’s inhabitants. Over the course of time, several changes were made to the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
