“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name,/ Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love/ and I’ll no longer be a Capulet” said the Juliet of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, on her balcony in the wonderful Italian city of Verona.
Now, for everyone who has a romantic soul, there is a great chance to say “yes” and marry the love of his life on the famous balcony in Juliet’s house.
The balcony looks out over a small courtyard that can be accessed from the street by a short passageway.
Inside the courtyard, there is a bronze statue of Juliet Capulet stands at the bottom of the balcony where, according to William Shakespeare, she stood one starry night, sighing after Romeo’s daring courtship.
Giving your loved one a promise ring on this historical balcony will cost 600 euro.
