Verona is not only the Arena and Juliet. There is a city within the city that most visitors never see: the one hidden along the sixteenth-century walls, among imposing bastions, monumental gates and breathtaking views over the river.
The MACA route of the Parco delle Mura starts from Piazza Bra, just a few steps from the Arena, and winds for four kilometres through Verona's historic heart to the green space of the Parco delle Mura. It is a route that alternates between the liveliest part of the centre and the unexpected quiet of the Scaliger bastions, built in the sixteenth century to a design by Michele Sanmicheli to protect the city from the threat of foreign armies.
With MACA, every stop along the route becomes a story. The MACA points distributed along the itinerary accompany you as you discover Venetian military architecture, the historical events linked to the city's great gates - Porta Nuova, Porta Palio and Porta San Zeno - and the details you notice only when someone points them out. Not a guided tour, not a technical audio guide: a walk that knows how to tell a story.
The route is of medium difficulty, takes about two hours and is suitable in every season. In spring and autumn the Parco delle Mura offers extraordinary colours; in summer the walls provide shade and coolness just a few steps from the tourist crowds of the centre. A different way to experience Verona, even if you have always lived there.
