Fantastic setting and views, slightly outside the city centre but walkable. Beautiful courtyard. Free on the first Sunday of the month.
The site of the ancient Verona Red marble and stone quarries can be visited in Prun, a small village just 10 minutes above Negrar.
Marble quarrying has always been at the basis of the local economy and local stone was used back in Roman times to build the Arena amphitheatre as well as the basilicas of San Zeno and Santa Anastasia and many other important buildings in the centre of Verona.
Recently the whole area has been studied by architects from all over the world who took part in a competition for the best plans to ensure the development of the whole area as a local beauty spot.
