This was a wine trip to the nearby Valpolicella wine area. We had to see Verona because its beautiful and we are tourists so needed to see Juliet’s balcony.
However as usual one just trips over Roman sites. Verona just happened to have a little amphitheater. Unfortunately we didn’t get to tour the inside because of Adele. Europeans use these Roman and Greek amphitheaters to stage all types of productions from concerts to plays and even MMA.
The Arena had a capacity of 30,000 (pretty good size considering the coliseum held 50,000). It was built in 30AD. Verona was on a major road system and was known as Verona in Roman times.
