Castelvecchio Museum

The Castelvecchio Museum is located in the eponymus castle, built between XIV and XIV century. I have posted about the attached "Ponte" quite a few times, see here.

The museum was restored by Carlo Scarpa, one of the leading italian architects of the XX century. Between 1959 and 1973 Scarpa, with his unique architectural style, enhanced both the appearance of the building and the exhibits. 

One of the main museums in town, it displays a wide collection of statues, sculptures, objects. 

Paintings include masterpieces of Mantegna, Bellini, Pisanello.

Stone balls!

This photo was taken on the first section of Ponte di Castelvecchio and the lawn is part of the Museo di Castelvecchio. I noticed these interesting stone balls of different sizes behind the gate.  I wonder if they are cannon balls or just sculptures. I'll try to find out...
