Scaliger Tombs
Elaborate Gothic canopies and equestrian figures turn the Della Scala rulers' burial place into a compact outdoor history lesson. The monuments remain clearly visible from the street when the courtyard is closed.
Why go
Few places express Verona's medieval ruling dynasty so vividly. Each monument balances religious imagery with public displays of rank, while the iron fence repeats the family's ladder emblem. The defining details are the tombs of Cangrande I, Mastino II and Cansignorio; armored horses, saints, virtues and the ladder motif in the fence.
