The Museo Civico di Castelvecchio is one of Verona's most important museums, as well as one of the most compelling repositories of Italian and European art. The prominent castle that houses it, built between 1354 and 1356 alongside the Scaligero Bridge in Verona, was restored by renowned architect Carlo Scarpa starting in 1957. Carried out in several phases over 18 years, the project became one of his most significant works, revealing his admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and traditional Japanese spatiality.

The museum is located within the La Scala di Castelvecchio fortress complex, spread across more than thirty rooms dedicated to sculpture, Italian and foreign painting, ancient weapons, ceramics, jewelry, miniatures, and historic bells.
