Parco delle Colombare

About

Parco delle Colombare is one of Verona’s most panoramic green spaces, stretching across the hillside above Veronetta and linked directly to the ancient city walls through a narrow passage in the fortifications. The park takes its name from Villa Colombari, owned in the late 19th century by Pietro Colombari, a merchant of coloured earths who purchased the estate and its yellow‑ochre quarries in 1888giardiniapertiverona.org. Today the area is a vast public garden offering sweeping views over the city, shaded paths, and wide lawns ideal for relaxation. Its position beside the Parco delle Mura makes it part of Verona’s broader network of historic green spaces, where former military structures have been transformed into peaceful recreational areas. Loved by locals for decades, Parco delle Colombare remains a quiet, scenic retreat just steps from the historic centre.
