World Heritage: Verona VIII - a photo on Flickriver

Palazzo Maffei is a palace on the north-western side of the square Piazza delle Erbe. A building existed in the current location in the 1400s, but in 1469 the nobleman Marcantonio Maffei decided to expand it by adding a third floor. Construction works ended only in 1668. The three-floor façade of the palace is in Baroque style.
The top of the facade is designed as a balustrade with six statues of divinities: Hercules, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Apollo and Minerva.
Today the palace is a museum.

The historic city of Verona was founded in the 1st century B.C. It particularly flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries and as part of the Republic of Venice from the 15th to 18th centuries. Verona has preserved a remarkable number of monuments from antiquity, the medieval and Renaissance periods.
The core of the city consists of the Roman town containing one of the richest collections of Roman remains in northern Italy. Surviving remains of this era include the city gate, the Ponte Pietra, the Roman theatre, and the Amphitheatre Arena.
Verona’s surviving architecture and urban structure reflects the evolution of this fortified town over its 2,000 year history.
