Verona and Giardino Giusti  Return to the index page

The photos below are of sights in Verona on my way to and inside the Giardino Giusti.  These gardens were laid out in 1580, and are some of the best Renaissance gardens in Europe.

A Camellia near the Roman Amphitheater.

This balcony is the mythical site of Romeo and Juliet’s balcony. The paper on the walls are love notes stuck to the walls with chewing gum.

More love notes.

Finally to Giardino Giusti, this is the entrance courtyard off an unassuming side street.

Cupressus sempervirens line garden walks.

A view back toward the entrance.
