Castelvecchio Museum (Italian: Museo Civico di Castelvecchio) is a museum in Verona, northern Italy, located in the eponymous medieval castle. Restoration by the architect Carlo Scarpa, between 1959 and 1973, has enhanced the appearance of the building and exhibits. Scarpa's unique architectural style is visible in the details for doorways, staircases, furnishings, and even fixtures designed to hold a specific piece of artwork.
The museum displays a collection of sculpture, statues, paintings, ancient weapons, ceramics, goldworks, miniatures and some old bells.

![View north from the bend in the river Adige to the bridge "Ponte Scaligero", which links the castle Castelvecchio with Verona on the other side of the river. The bridge is a local’s favorite spot for strolls and it's a perfect place for admiring the sunsets and the Alps in the distance.
