Juliet's Tomb & Fresco Museum
Tomba di Giulietta
The red marble sarcophagus said to be where Juliet was laid to rest. It sits in the basement of a former Franciscan convent, and upstairs is the Verona Fresco Museum.
Juliet's Tomb is located in the Convent of San Francesco on the southern edge of the old town. In the crypt stands an open red marble sarcophagus. Since the 18th century it has been linked to Juliet, drawing literature lovers from around the world, and many couples still hold their weddings here. The convent also houses the Verona Fresco Museum, which displays medieval and Renaissance frescoes removed from the walls of old buildings in the city. Admission is about €6, free with the Verona Card. Closed Mondays. It is about a 10-minute walk from Piazza Bra, and far fewer visitors come here than to Casa di Giulietta.
