Casa di Giulietta, Historical civil building museum in Via Cappello, Verona, Italy
Casa di Giulietta is a medieval palace on Via Cappello in Verona with brick walls, a Gothic portal, and arched windows. The marble balcony was assembled from architectural fragments taken from the Castelvecchio Museum collection.
The structure dates from the late 13th century and belonged to the Dal Cappello family, whose name is carved into the keystone of the courtyard arch. Over the centuries the building served as a residence before being converted into a museum during the 20th century.
The building rose to fame through its link to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, while Dante mentioned both the Montecchi and Capuleti families in his Divine Comedy. Visitors leave love messages on the walls in the courtyard, which has become a meeting point for couples from around the world.
The house museum requires advance online reservations through museiverona.com and operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The small courtyard can be crowded, so visiting early morning or late afternoon is recommended.
The museum displays the bed and costumes from Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, worn by Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. A bronze statue of Juliet stands in the courtyard, whose right breast visitors touch for luck.
