The Arena is an ancient roman amphitheater built in AD 30. It is the 3rd roman amphitheater in Italy with respect to the size. During summer, inside the Arena the famous festival of opera and many concerts are given. Verona is also the location chosen by William Shakespeare for his story about the love between Romeo and Juliet.
