Summary

[edit]
Description

This is Romeo's House on Via Arche Scaligere in Verona. Not as easy to find as Juliet's House. Also less tourists looking for it (unlike Juliet's House this isn't open to the public as a museum).

Tradition bases this property has the home or Romeo from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set in Verona, Italy.

This fine Medieval building in Via Arche Scaligere is popularly identified with the House of Montecchi or Montagues, Romeo's family.

The house is built of brick, and there are still traces of the original battlements, although it is now in such bad condition that no visitors are allowed into the inner courtyard.

Information from "Verona: History and Masterpieces - English Edition".

So that would explain why we couldn't go into the inner courtyard. Maybe it could be restored like Juliet's House, then be opened to the public in the future?

It is another example of a building in Northern Italy with Scaligeri influences
