Wedding dress and roman portal

Detail of Porta Leoni (Ist century BC). Isn't it a lovely spot to buy a wedding dress?

Back to the first century B.C.

Verona hosts one of the richest collections of Roman remains in Northern Italy.

This is the biggest roman excavation in town and I love it. I often stop by and admire the variety of structures, the shapes, the bricks and the huge stones and wonder how many hidden treasures there might be under my feet as I walk in the city centre.

I also like to observe the sophisticated architectural work that made the site perfectly visible from the street level.

This site marked the south-western border of the roman Verona, accessible through Porta dei Leoni which is a few steps to the left.
