Why Juliet's House matters
Verona's most visited courtyard has a bronze statue of Juliet and a balcony. The story is literature rather than history, and the balcony was added later, but the place is full of notes and love messages from visitors. It's crowded but charming.
Talking points
- The story comes from Shakespeare's play.
- The balcony is a later addition.
- Touching the statue is supposed to bring luck.
- The courtyard is open to all; the house itself needs a ticket.
