Juliet's House Tourism

Juliet's House, or Casa di Giulietta, is one of Verona's most visited attractions, drawing admirers of Shakespeare from across the globe. The house is said to be the location of the famous balcony love scene from Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet.' Although the tale is fictional and there's no factual evidence that the Capulet family lived there, the house is a symbol of romance and literature. Originating from the 13th century, the building has been restored and now houses a museum with period furniture and some frescoes. The focal point for visitors is the famous balcony which overlooks the courtyard. A bronze statue of Juliet stands in the yard, and it's a tradition for visitors to rub the statue for good luck. Love notes and messages are often left in the walls of the entrance in an age-old tradition by those seeking to strengthen their love.
