Verona Arena

Close

Located in Piazza Bra in the center of Verona, the Verona Arena is an ancient Roman amphitheater and the third-largest in Italy (after the Colosseum in Rome and the Amphitheater of Capua). It still serves as a theater today, hosting a variety of outstanding performances each year. The arena's façade was originally made of white and pink limestone, but was destroyed in the earthquake of 1117. The arena today has two levels, each with 72 arches. The stone spectator seating rises in tiers, allowing audiences to see the stage clearly from every seat, as in other ancient Roman theaters. The Verona Arena is the venue for an annual opera festival. During the festival, held every year from June to August, the signature opera Aida and other famous works such as Carmen and Turandot are performed in this ancient arena.
