Traveler reviews
Dr. Hani Hossni
★★★★★9 months agoArco dei Gavi is a remarkable Roman triumphal arch in Verona, Italy, built in the 1st century AD to honor the noble Gavi family. Originally part of the city’s fortifications, it showcases elegant classical design. Though dismantled during Napoleonic rule, it was faithfully reconstructed and now stands proudly near Castelvecchio
Shahzore Ali
★★★★★3 months agoIf you are walking along the Adige River near Castelvecchio, you simply cannot miss the Arco dei Gavi. It is a stunning piece of Roman history right in the middle of Verona. This beautifully restored white-marble arch is a really good place to stop for a quick photo and appreciate the city's ancient roots. It is completely free to view and beautifully lit up at night, making it a perfect quick stop on your walking tour. Highly recommend.
