Create an itinerary including Museo di Castelvecchio

Explore a small-but-varied collection of medieval paintings, sculptures, weapons, and ornamental objects alongside modern art at Museo di Castelvecchio, housed in the 14th century castle of the same name. Between 1959 and 1973, modernist architect Carlo Scarpa restored and enhanced the castle, adding his own features and creating special fixtures to hold some of the artworks. The layout resembles a modern art gallery, rather than a historical museum, with ample space to appreciate each artifact. A fortified, red-brick bridge attached to the castle provides sweeping views of the river and surrounding countryside. Using our world travel planner, Verona attractions like Museo di Castelvecchio can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

Lots to see, impressive paintings and sculptures. I'm taking a star off as it is like a maze, lots of routes end with dead end. Lots of groups there on tours, blocking paths, doors, I couldn't see glass doors to exit when I tried to leave! A large group stood in front of them, no signage pointing the way. Ticket cost reasonable, you should go early in morning to avoid crowds. Great views from walls.

One of the main historic attractions of Verona, top of the Must See list. Rather busy place, worth to arrive early in the morning. Museum collection quite interesting, mostly paintings and some sculptures. Beautiful view point as well. Entry included in Verona Card.

I’ve never seen paintings and sculptures like the ones here. Most if not all are Christian. The castle itself is interesting enough to visit! 6 euro per person, 1.5 hours enough to see everything. There’s only one WC in the whole place so go for it if you don’t see any long line.

I like castles so this was fun. I kept getting lost trying to find the exit. The museum itself was ok but i have been to many museums in Rome, Florence and Venice that were better

The place was big , lots of art works and nice vibe of castle. You need more than 1 hour to see all the srtworks and appreciate the beauty.highly suggest to take the Verona Card give you quick access to museum and way cheaper.
