Roman archway “dei Gavi” in "Piazzetta Castelvecchio" - Verona
Corso Cavour 43, Piazzetta Castelvecchio, 37100 Verona

The archway “Arco dei Gavi” is a monument of the I century A.D. which was built by an important family of Verona, the “gens Gavia” for self-celebration purposes. Originally the archway had been constructed along the road “Via Postumia”, the big consular road that reached Verona. In 1805 was considered as a hindrance to local traffic and was dismantled. In 1932 the archway was reconstructed in a different location. However, the previous positioning of its pillars is marked on the paving in front of the Museum of Castelvecchio in the street “Corso Cavour”.
