The arch, which is actually a bridge connecting two buildings, goes unnoticed for those who walk without your prior knowledge. Even the hanging whale rib bone can miss if you have prior knowledge. If through the Piazza dei Signori, enjoy.

Going from piazza delle Erbe in Piazza dei Signori is necessarily passes under a high arch. Here hangs from centuries a huge bone. No one has been able to say what bone and what was the reason for his presence. I asked several people to hear me tell more stories. In short, a secular cult of the city.

Man merkt man befindet sich in einer Seefahrernation. Etwas merkwürdig erscheint der Walknochen mitten in Verona dennoch. more »

You can tell one finds oneself in a maritime nation. The Whale bones in the middle of Verona is still odd.

Such an underwhelming Arco, that we didn't even notice the first couple times we walked through it.

L'Arco della Costa, è una passerella di collegamento tra la Domus Nova e il Palazzo della Ragione e in epoca veneziana consentiva ai magistrati di recarsi dalla loro residenza, la Domus nova appunto, al tribunale della città, il Palazzo della Ragione, senza dover passare per la strada, dove avrebbero potuto essere avvicinati da corruttori o malintenzionati. L'Arco della Costa deve il suo nome a una costola di balena che da secoli vi pende sotto. Non si sa bene perché vi sia stata appesa e, nonostante le varie teorie e interpretazioni, rimane un mistero. Secondo alcuni si tratta di una sorta di reliquia portata dalla terra santa da crociati di Verona, altri ritengono possa trattarsi di un fossile, forse trovato sui monti attorno a Verona e, creduto un osso di qualche misterioso mostro, messo nel centro di Verona quasi a protezione scaramantica della città.

The Arco della Costa, is a footbridge linking the Domus Nova and the Palazzo della Ragione and Venetian era allowed the judges to travel from their residence, the Domus nova to City Court, Palazzo della Ragione, without having to go down the street, where they could be approached by mischief-makers or malicious users. The Arco della Costa owes its name to a whale's rib for centuries there hangs below. No one knows why there has been hung, and despite various theories and interpretations, remains a mystery. According to some it is a kind of relic brought from the Holy land from the Crusaders of Verona, others believe it may be a fossil, maybe found on the mountains around Verona, believed a bone of some mysterious monster, placed almost in the Centre of Verona superstitious – protection of the city.
