Located between the walls of Piazza Bra and Castelvecchio, the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano is the second oldest public library museum in the world. Founded in 1745 by Scipione Maffai, the exhibition hall contains Greek, Etruscan, Roman, and Arab writings, some of which were donated by Maffai. The architect was Alessandro Pompei.

Hundreds of inscriptions, reliefs, and sculptures are located throughout the entrance hall, basement, and two upper rooms. The experience begins in the courtyard, where many writings are arranged underneath the beautiful Italian sky, and ends with a walk over the walls of the Bra that takes you to the Gran Guardia. Three recommended items to view are the largest collection of Greek grave inscriptions housed on the first floor and the Etruscan urns and sarcophagus of a young man on the second level.

The museum is a popular site with tourists, students, and scholars. In addition, many of the inscriptions have English translations. The Museo Lapidario Maffeiano is open from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday and is closed on Monday. Free admission is offered the first Sunday of each month. Other attractions near the library include the Verona Arena, the Museo Civico di Castelvecchio, and the Via Mazzini.

The Museo di Castelvecchio is a museum located in a medieval castle. It was commissioned by Canagrande II della Scala between 1354 and 1356. Originally, the fortress was built to protect the family from enemies and to give them ample time to escape. The palace was used to house military weapons and munitions in the 1400s and eventually became the seat of the Venetian military academy in the 1700s. In 1925, it was made a museum.

The exhibition hall collection contains Veronese sculptures, jewelry, epigraphs, frescoes, paintings, weapons, ceramics, and bells, from the twelfth to eighteenth centuries. The most notable works are the Sepulcher of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus, the Crucifix, St. Cecilia and Catherina, Madonna of the Quail, and the Holy Family. Stefano da Verona, Carlo Crivelli, Giovanni Bellinis, Liberale da Verona, and Girolamo da Libri are just a few of the artists whose works fill the rooms of the museum.

The building experienced multiple renovations over a period of 700 years. Between 1959 and 1973, architect Carlo Scrapa restored the building to its authentic state. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm and from 1:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Monday. They are closed December 25th and January 1st.

Founded in the 1990s, during an excavation of the city streets of Verona, the Scavi Scaligori Museum contains a wealth of Roman and medieval treasures. Located off Piazza delle Erbe, on Via Cairoli, it is only fitting that the exhibition hall is situated underground, since that is where it all began. Preserving and documenting the relics of a time long gone, while making those objects accessible to the public, is the goal of the Scavi.

As you enter through the doors of the museum, you will take a journey back in time. Mosaics from the first century, Roman roads, tombs, and foundations of medieval towers are presented in their original state. Exhibitions are held throughout the year, and the International Photography Center is a regular contributor. It is one of the most popular local museums.

Verona is a city with a rich and ancient past, and the Scavi does an excellent job telling that story.
