Castelvecchio Museum, Art museum in medieval castle of Verona, Italy
The Castelvecchio Museum exhibits medieval sculptures, Renaissance paintings, ancient weapons, jewelry, and bronze bells within a fortified castle complex built in the 1300s.
The castle served as a military headquarters during the French occupation in 1797, when Napoleon modified the fortress structure for his army's requirements.
The museum displays significant artworks including the Madonna of the Quail by Pisanello and sculptures from the Romanesque period of Verona's artistic development.
Located at Corso Castelvecchio, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
Architect Carlo Scarpa's 1959-1973 restoration integrated modern design elements with medieval architecture through custom-designed display fixtures and innovative spatial solutions.
