Verona Time Machine: The Capitolium in Augmented Reality

A guided tour in augmented reality that allows you to explore the ancient city as it was two thousand years ago while walking through today’s Verona: an immersive and engaging experience where history comes to life before your eyes.

This route includes a guided visit to seven points of interest in the center of Verona, along the path of the ancient Roman city. Using advanced Augmented Reality smart glasses, you can observe how some of Verona’s key ancient locations looked two thousand years ago, now altered or hidden by the modern urban fabric.

The tour takes place on foot with a specialist guide and combines historical and archaeological narration with virtual reconstructions to offer an engaging and educational experience. The route starts at Piazza delle Erbe, where today markets and medieval architecture coexist, but which was once the bustling center of the Roman city. Here stood the forum, the hub of civic life: commercial, judicial, administrative, and religious. Thanks to AR technology (Augmented Reality), you can see how the space has transformed and compare the current square with the ancient forum, which was much larger and more spectacular than one might imagine.

You will walk on Roman paved streets, see the original shape and size of the forum, the public buildings around it, and the Capitolium, the most important temple of ancient Verona. By wearing the smart glasses, you can explore its monumental structure and discover the symbolic and social significance of this building dedicated to the Capitoline triad.
