Walking through the Costa Arch you arrive in Piazza dei Signori. On the left hand-side you first encounter the facade of the Domus Nova, in Venitian style of the 12th century.
Continuing your walk in the square clockwise you can admire the Renaissance Loggia del Consiglio and the Palace of the Scaligeri family, who ruled Verona from 1260 to 1387, now used as the seat of the Provincial Council, and the Captain’s Palace (Palazzo del Capitano), another Scaligeri Palace with its overlooking tower. A smaller arch links this to the Palace of Comune (Palazzo del Comune), whose alternate layers of bricks and limestone create an unusual and colourful pattern. Through the arch you enter the Old Market Yard (Cortile Mercato Vecchio), where the two flight gothic stair (Scala della Ragione) is worth seeing.
