Historic castle in the heart of Verona with a medieval walking bridge

#aprilblooms The Castelvecchio complex in Verona is a striking example of #medieval architecture, characterized by its robust red brick construction and imposing presence. The fortress itself features sturdy walls and multiple towers. Inside it you can find a museum of medieval #art. A now-dry ditch once surrounded the structure, highlighting its strategic design.✨ Connecting to the castle is the Scaliger #bridge, a marvel of 14th-century engineering. Built primarily of red Veronese brick with lower sections of white marble, the bridge showcases elegant, sloping arches, the largest of which was a record-breaking span at the time of its construction. It stretces over the Adige River, where you can see the first groups of boats floating under the bridge at this time of the year. ✨
