7. Museo Castelvecchio, Verona
Upon hearing the name Verona, the first thing that crosses the minds of most travelers is Romeo and Juliet. Regrettably, few people get to visit the Museo Castelvecchio, a 14th-century stronghold that has managed to survive so many centuries.
If it hadn’t been for WWII, the fortification had remained intact, but unfortunately, the Germans bombed it. Nevertheless, much of the original building was preserved, which is why you now have the chance to see a plethora of canvases by Bellini, Veronese, and Tintoretto, as well as wood sculptures created by local artists.
