Additional Information

In the 1st century BC, the Romans transformed Verona from a small village of huts into a large city with brick buildings, infrastructure and stone-paved streets. The Roman layout of Verona and many of its monuments have survived more than two thousand years and are still visible today.

The Roman generals immediately realized the strategic importance of Verona and made it a fundamental military outpost. There was a river that guaranteed a water supply and was wide and deep enough for navigation. With its bends, it also offered a formidable natural defense. The area was flat but protected to the north by hills that, starting from the edge of the Adige River, became real mountains as they continued north. Verona was a short distance from Lake Garda, which at the time was still called Benacus. It was located on the piedmont line, at the entrance to the Adige Valley, a natural connection between the Brenner Pass, through which Hannibal had passed, and the Po Valley. These communication routes, little more than dirt paths, were certainly already used to connect the various settlements that arose from the early Bronze Age. The Romans made them paved, straight and wide roads, on which armies and goods could move comfortably. They thus created a formidable road network at the center of which, in northern Italy, was Verona.
