Overview
This is an obligatory port of call for any visitor to Verona, not least to see the Juliet statue, dedicated to the joys of being in love.The building, is based on the 13th-century design, was built on the remains of a Roman insula building. The elegant balcony which looks out over the courtyard was renovated by Antonio Avena in 1935, while the much-photographed Juliet statue is by Nereo Costantini. Juliet's house is now the property of the state and is used to house temporary art exhibitions.The place is dreamy and inspiring.by Yahoo | 2007-09-05 19:11:33 |

( dislikes) alot of posts it... And vandals... (like) where you can write a message to Juliet. It's like kind of a wish or something. It's in a modern way, mind you! They used a computer. hehehe....
"Juliet's balcony" is pretty and very popular, but we didn't go into the little museum they had. Seems strange that they make a big deal out of what may or may not have been the inspiration for Shakespeare's play :)
I loved it. It was amazing to see and all of the things peole have written on the walls over the years makes great for photography
If you are even the slightest bit romantic this is a must. Although it is a very simple attraction, it's story is timeless. Attention all Romeo's, go in the evening an have your Juliet call to you.
