Scaliger Tombs
The Scaliger Tombs are among the most striking monuments in Verona, a dramatic Gothic funerary complex honouring the powerful Della Scala family who ruled the city in the 13th and 14th centuries. Set beside the small church of Santa Maria Antica, the tombs rise within a wrought‑iron enclosure decorated with the family’s staircase emblemVisit Verona+1. Each monument is designed as an elevated tabernacle, with a sculpted sarcophagus crowned by a soaring baldachin and an equestrian statue of the deceased, creating an almost theatrical verticality. The earliest and most celebrated is the tomb of Cangrande I, adorned with religious reliefs and military scenes, and topped by his iconic mounted figureVisit Verona. Considered one of the finest achievements of Gothic art in northern Italy, the Scaliger Tombs remain a vivid reminder of medieval Verona’s political power and artistic ambition.
Verona Italy
Scaliger Tombs occupy a gated courtyard at Via Arche Scaligere, alongside the Church of Santa Maria Antica in Verona’s historic center. This Gothic funerary complex for the della Scala rulers sits mere steps from Piazza dei Signori with its grand statues and Loggia del Consiglio. Encircled by distinctive wrought-iron fences bearing the family’s ladder motif, the tombs neighbor Piazza delle Erbe’s vibrant market to the north and link easily to Torre dei Lamberti’s panoramic views and Corso Porta Borsari’s Roman gate.
