Piazza Bra' : the symbol of Verona : the world's famous Arena




unfortunately it's now horribly covered by panels and lights used during the Opera




the only remain of the outer 3rd ring of the Arena




the Arena dates back 1th century AD.
several heartquakes demolished the outer rings during middleage,
the rocks have been used to built other houses in the center.




trivia : inside these arches during middleages were used as a site for
prostitution, the site was called Lupanari




unlike Rome's Colosseum, the Arena of Verona is still intact
inside and is widely used for Opera and Musical concerts
during spring and summer.
