Scaliger Tombs, Gothic funerary monument in central Verona, Italy.
The Scaliger Tombs feature elevated marble sarcophagi with ornate canopies and equestrian statues representing the medieval rulers of Verona.
The tombs, constructed between the late 13th and 14th centuries, commemorate five members of the Della Scala family who governed Verona during its peak.
Each tomb displays distinct Gothic architectural elements, religious motifs, and Latin inscriptions detailing the achievements of the interred Scaliger rulers.
The monument complex stands near Santa Maria Antica Church and remains open daily for visitors to examine the detailed medieval craftsmanship.
An iron fence with stairs patterns surrounds the tombs, referencing the Della Scala family name, which translates to 'of the stairs' in Italian.
