About
Visitors will find the supposed residence of Juliet's lover not far from the more famous House of Juliet.
While the story is just a play written by William Shakespeare, the tourism it generates for the Italian city of Verona is very real. One of the most visited landmarks in Verona is Juliet’s Balcony, located inside what is called the “House of Juliet,” but is actually just the former residence of a local noble family. Similarly, visitors can find the “House of Romeo” not far from his lover’s home. This 14th-century palace is located on a narrow road in central Verona and belonged to Cagnolo Nogarola, a Veronese noble of French descent. It’s typical medieval residence decorated with Ghibelline-style merlons and fortifications, complete with an large internal courtyard.
