Colonna di San Marco

In the pulsating heart of Verona, the Piazza delle Erbe, stands the significant Colonna di San Marco, a historic symbol of the Venetian rule over Verona, topped with the iconic winged lion, representing Saint Mark. This column not only marks a period of governance but also serves as a fascinating focal point in the square. Nearby, the Fontana Madonna Verona is another captivating site, dating back to 1368 but incorporating much older Roman parts. This fountain, with its statue of Madonna Verona, a Roman sculpture from the 380s AD, exudes a blend of historical layers that Verona is renowned for. For photo-travelers, capturing these sites offers a rich narrative of Verona’s past and present. Early morning or late afternoon light accentuates the intricate details and softens the bustling background, providing an ideal setting for photography.
