The Piszza dei Signore is the smaller of the two squares at the heart of Verona’s city centre. It is also known as Piazza Dante because of the white statue of the great poet at its centre. It is surrounded by late medieval buildings including the Loggia dei Consiglio and two palaces associated either with the Scaligeri family which ruled Verona from 1260 to 1387. One now houses the chambers of the provincial government. The second, the Palazzo del Capitano has an overlooking tower. A smaller arch links this to the Palazzo del Commune with its stunning pattern of bricks and limestone. An arch leads to the Cortile Mercato Vecchio with steps leading up to the Palazzo del Ragione which now houses Verona’s modern art gallery.

We found this square in old Verona to be the most atmospheric, we liked the vibe here and the quirky style with a couple of Scaligeri Palaces included in the surroundings. Dante's Statue is standing proud as the centrepiece of the piazza, which is also has access to Piazza delle Erbe through a alley called the Arch of the Rib. This is a Whale bone and linked to a story about honest men. The Torre de Lamberti and the Scaligeri Tombs can be easily reached for here as well.

Piazza dei Signori is located in the historic center of Verona, in the most central point of the city. The monumental buildings of the medieval city overlook this square enclosed on all four sides like a courtyard. In the middle of the square there is the beautiful marble statue of Dante Alighieri.

You are bound to pass through here if you spend a few days in Verona. It is near Piazza della Erbe. It is less crowded and void of street market and vendors. We passed through on our way to see the Scaliger Tombs and the museum.
There is a statue that honors Dante Alighieri.

This is a beautiful square with a few restaurants and a few places to sit on the square to enjoy a piece of pizza and a cool drink. Very centrally located as far as tourist attractions go, so this can be a point of reference during your visit. We sat here and had lunch before finishing our day visit to Verona.

This is a nice quieter square with a beautiful statue of Dante. You still have close access to many of the main attractions within minutes. A nice place to sit on the steps and have a snack lunch.

Very close to piazza della Erbe, this piazza was the power centre of Verona and is also known as Piazza Dante. The figures atop the surrounding palazzos represent worthy Veronese citizens. It’s close to the Scaligeri tombs and is surrounded by restaurants.
