33/40.- Verona,
Castelvecchio
This Castle
(Castelvecchio means old castle) was built in 1354-1355.
The Castle has suffered many modifications. The many
invasions this city has suffered have left their
fingerprints in this construction: the Visconti, the
Venetian, the French and the Austrian domination changed
parts of the castle. Napoleon constructed a courtyard
inside its walls. Recent restorations have recovered
parts of its original design.
