Piazza delle Erbe
Piazza delle Erbe is Verona's oldest square, built on the site of the ancient Roman forum, and today functions as a lively market square lined with colorful buildings, a fountain topped by a Roman statue known as the Madonna Verona, and outdoor cafes. Market stalls have operated here in some form for centuries.
The square is surrounded by notable buildings including the Torre dei Lamberti and the Casa dei Mercanti, giving it a dense concentration of Veronese history within a relatively small, walkable space.
It naturally connects to the adjoining Piazza dei Signori through a narrow archway, and together the two squares form the practical and historical center of a walk through old Verona.
