Museo di Castelvecchio

MuseumVerona & Lake GardaAbout 2 hours

A fourteenth-century castle on the river, remodelled by Carlo Scarpa in the 1960s into what architects still travel to see — the building and the intervention are the exhibit as much as the paintings. The fortified bridge beside it is free to walk across. Two hours for anyone who cares about buildings.
