The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheatre located in the historic center of Verona, Italy. It is among the best-preserved ancient amphitheatres to have survived into the modern era. This remarkable state of preservation is largely due to systematic restoration efforts that began in the 16th century.
During the summer months, the Arena hosts the Arena di Verona Festival, with opera seasons that have run uninterrupted except by wars since 1913. Throughout the rest of the year, it serves as a concert venue.
The arena hosted the closing ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics and the opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
