  • Museo di Castelvecchio - Castelvecchio, originally called the Castle of San Martino in Aquaro, is a medieval fortress located in the historic center of Verona, currently used as the headquarters of the homonymous civic museum; it is the most important military monument of the Scaliger Signoria.
  • Ponte Scaligero - The Castelvecchio Bridge, also known as the Scaliger Bridge, is an infrastructural and military work located in Verona along the Adige River, part of the Castelvecchio fortress, and considered the most daring and admirable work of Veronese medieval times.
  • Arco dei Gavi - The Arch of the Gavi, located along the ancient Via Postumia in Verona, just outside the walls of the Roman city, is a rare case of an honorary and monumental arch for private use in Roman architecture. It was indeed built around the middle of the 1st century to celebrate the Gavia family.
  • Porta Borsari - World Heritage Site - Porta Borsari, known in antiquity as Porta Iovia due to the nearby temple dedicated to Jupiter Lustralis, is one of the gates that opened along the Roman walls of Verona.
  • Piazza delle Erbe - Piazza delle Erbe (or simply Piazza Erbe) is the oldest square in Verona and is located above the area of the Roman Forum. In Roman times, it was the center of political and economic life; over time, the Roman buildings gave way to medieval ones. In 2012, it was considered the most beloved Italian square in the world.
  • Torre dei Lamberti - The Lamberti Tower is a medieval structure located in Verona, near the central Piazza delle Erbe.
  • Piazza dei Signori - Piazza dei Signori, also known as Piazza Dante, is a square located in the historic center of Verona, adjacent to Piazza delle Erbe.

The square originated in the Middle Ages from the development of the Scaliger palaces and has always had political, administrative, and representational functions. The square is framed by several monumental buildings, connected by arches and loggias.
