The Gran Guardia Nuova Palace has been home to the Municipality of the city of Verona since 1874. Sited near the Arena, the palace was built between 1835 and 1848 by the architect Giuseppe Barbieri on the former site of the della Misericordia Hospital which had been demolished. The palace, with its fabulous colonnaded front, was damaged during WWII but was later restored and expanded. The palace houses two masterpieces depicting the Victory over Barbarossa in Vaccaldo in 1164 and the Victory of the Veronese over the Benacesi in 849.
