Scavi Scaligeri Site Features

The Roman mosaics

Pavement fragments from ordinary houses, seen from walkways directly above them.

The stratigraphy

Roman street level below, medieval foundations cut down into it, the modern city overhead -- the clearest cross-section of Verona's growth anywhere in the city.

Photography among the ruins

The Centro Internazionale di Fotografia stages exhibitions in the excavation, which is either the site's best feature or its oddest, depending on your view.

The location

Directly beneath the Scaliger palace courtyard, a minute from Piazza dei Signori and the Arche Scaligere.
