The Arena di Verona at the Gladiators’ Time

Meet your certified local guide in the shadow of the Town Hall that marks the southern front of the square where the city's most important monument, the Arena, stands. Follow her to reach the northern part of the square, where, in the shadow of the Giardini della Bra, you can carefully observe the shape of the amphitheater and discover very interesting details such as its original size, its relationship with the town and the complex articulation of its access structures. Then you will move towards the "wing", in whose shadow you will be able to spot other unexpected details. You will then enter the amphitheater and walk along its corridors and arches to explore the ingenious structure capable of connecting the external doors with the internal "vomitoria". You will discover the places frequented by the gladiators and those used to house the beasts. Will you then perhaps be able to forget about accessing the arena as a gladiator would have done? And take a seat in the cavea as spectators still do? After listening to countless anecdotes related to the world of gladiator games, you will end our tour in the most hidden and suggestive part of the entire amphitheater. And there, your free time will begin, so that you can stay in this truly extraordinary place as long as you wish.
