Villafranca di Verona

Villafranca di Verona sits in northern Italy's Veneto region, featuring historical buildings, public squares, and agricultural landscapes across 57 square kilometers.

The town received its tax-free status on March 9, 1185, during the establishment of the Rectors' Council of Verona, leading to its name meaning free town.

The central cathedral, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, stands as a 17th-century religious monument where residents gather for the patron saint celebration each June.

Every Wednesday morning, the city center transforms into a large market where local producers sell fresh fruits, particularly the region's specialized peach crops.

The local castle, built in 1199, incorporates ancient stones attributed to Roman emperor Tiberius, connecting the structure to the area's Roman heritage.
