Castelvecchio
Castelvecchio is a 14th-century red-brick castle in Verona built by the Scaliger dynasty as a compact fortified residence and defensive complex. It consists of a square compound with multiple towers, a raised keep, and a fortified bridge across the Adige, now housing the Castelvecchio Museum and other uses after 20th-century restorations.

As it stood in 1376
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact square compound of red brick with a long curtain wall topped by distinctive M-shaped merlons, pierced by narrow slit windows and punctuated by multiple square towers including a clock-faced tower and a superelevated keep (maschio). Tiled hipped roofs cap the towers and a wooden enclosed gallery projects from one tower face. The castle originally sat beside and controlled a water-filled ditch fed from the Adige, and a fortified brick bridge connected it across the river.
