Palazzo della Ragione
About This Museum
Stepping into the Palazzo della Ragione feels like walking straight into the 12th century, but with better lighting. This isn't just a museum; it's Verona's former seat of power, a colossal palace that has overseen the city's bustling market square for nearly 900 years. You can almost hear the echoes of medieval magistrates in its vast, atmospheric halls. The real magic, however, is climbing the 368 steps of the Lamberti Tower for a heart-stopping, panoramic view over Verona's terracotta rooftops.
Collection Highlights
Inside, you'll find a wonderfully eclectic mix. One room is filled with ancient Roman mosaics discovered right under the city, while another showcases Renaissance frescoes that have been painstakingly restored. Don't miss the collection of old pharmacy jars and scientific instruments—it’s a quirky and fascinating glimpse into daily life centuries ago.
Visitor Information
