Guided tour of Verona: Juliet's house

Welcome to beautiful Verona in Italy



Where you'll find a very peculiar attraction: Juliet's house




Meet the lady in person:



This is the balcony where Juliet stood while devoted Romeo declared his love.
Let's not doubt it.
(it's also a fine example of XVth century recycling: take an old sarcophagus and stick it to the wall, there you have a nice balcony)




In the passageway leading to the courtyard one is astonished to see this:



Love is in the air, I mean in the wall



Literally thousands of love notes and messages!!





and graffitis



I guess neighbours are used to it now



And to end the visit, meet a present day charming Juliet:




Thank you for visiting Juliet's house. I hope you enjoyed your time with us.
I hope to see you all back soon.
