The only tour that takes you on a journey to discover the Roman origins of Verona, starting from its fascinating undergrounds. A journey through ancient remains and hidden places, with visits to 3 archaeological areas: Corte Sgarzerie, via San Cosimo, and the Roman villa of Valdonega.
This tour includes a guided visit to three underground archaeological areas located in the center of Verona, directly managed by Archeonaute.
Three different realities in a single itinerary to explore what remains, over two thousand years later, of a very rich private residence on the doorstep of the ancient urban settlement, of the most important and monumental public temple in the city, as well as the remains of the defensive walls with all their transformations from the time of Roman foundation to the Middle Ages. The visit takes place on foot, starting from one of the three areas to reach the last.
Why choose the tour La Verona Sotterranea? It is not just a simple guided visit, but a true archaeological experience during which, descending into the underground with the archaeologists who conducted the excavations, it will be possible to closely observe the ancient structures and understand them very clearly. This is a 360-degree archaeological tour of Verona, where the three underground areas are connected in a continuous narrative that gradually reveals the ancient face of the city and highlights its many facets. Starting from the history of the pre-Roman settlement, proceeding with the story of the foundation of the Roman municipality with its monumental public buildings of strong political and religious significance, up to private construction, without overlooking the road system and the city's relationship with its river.
