In the bustling heart of UNESCO World Heritage–listed Verona, Piazza delle Erbe, also known as Market Square, is a vibrant rectangular space surrounded by cafés and elegant buildings. At its center stands the 14th-century Madonna Verona Fountain (Fontana di Madonna Verona), an allegorical representation of the city. Topping the fountain is an ancient Roman statue of a female figure, holding a scroll inscribed with the civic motto. Visitors can admire the intricate stonework and the historical significance of this central landmark while enjoying the lively atmosphere of the square.
