The city is the oldest in Northern Italy and it is surrounded by 11 km of walls dating from the 16th century. In its historical center there are examples of great artistic significance such as the Palazzo della Ragione, full of frescoes. Among the religious buildings, we remember the famous Scrovegni Chapel, the most famous after the Sistine Chapel, for the richness of frescoes inside. Among the many art treasures, we must remember that Padua each year attracts millions of tourists because it is known worldwide as the city of St. Anthony, the famous French Portuguese friar born in Lisbon in 1195, who lived in Padua until his death. Here today we can visit the Basilica dedicated to him, built a few months after his death, where the Saint's relics are kept, and after a few years, the sanctuary was already showing its domes, minarets and the radiating chapels, adorned in the years following special works of art created between the thirteenth century and the present day. In this place the atmosphere is special, the example of the Saint's life draws people to a deep reflection during a visit to the beautiful decorated chapel. For those who want to fully understand the religious track of the city, you just have to visit the many religious buildings that populate it, including colors, sounds and aromas typical of the Veneto region which take back to ancient times, where the clock for Padua has stopped. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 28/04/2020 Accommodation All (22) Farm house (2) B&B (7) Hotels (13) Residence (1) HOTEL FILANDA Cittadella Le Tre Grazie San Martino di Lupari (5 Km) Agriturismo La Madoneta San Giorgio in Bosco (5 Km) La Madoneta is an ancient country house, recently restored with great care and attention to detail by the family themselves, in accordance with age old tradition.

You can find it walking out of the garden where the Cappella is and turning left. The Chiesa degli Eremitani during the Second World War was blowed out by some bombs, so dont expect much decoration in it as the frescos in the left part of the church have been totally destroyed, but in the right, oh, i can tell you thay what you can see there worth the visit!! Mantegna painted the right Cappella inside the church, called Cappella degli Ovetari and his frescos have been showed in a important art exhibition some years ago. If when you will go there the Cappella will be still closed for restoring work, try to find the caretaker, I did, and he was wery nice and, when i told him i was so sad i cant see well the frescos because the scaffolding, he opened the gate and took me inside the chapel to see better!! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/06/2020 Padua's Palazzo della Ragione Padova (28Km) Padua's Palazzo della Ragione In the very center of Padova there is set this huge buiding.

In the 1700 the Venetian republic decided to give to the Padova's university an astronomic observatory and they used the old tower to build it. Lately the old observatory have been restored and turned in a museum. The visit costs 5 euros and they will show you old instruments and you will know the story of this old building. Lots of people believe that Galileo Galilei worked here, but he taught in Padova university many years before this place was converted in a observatory so this is a metropolitan legend! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 15/09/2019 Saint Anthony's Church in Padua Padova (28Km) Saint Anthony's Church in Padua Locally known as "il Santo", Saint Anthony is the patron saint of Padua. Therefore, this Basilica is the main attraction in town, actually we stopped in Padua just to visit it. But don't you think it is the main cathedral in town, even though is the most famous one. There you will find the remains of St Anthony and his beautiful marble cuffin. Visit the tresury chapel where you'll find his tongue and jaw all surrounded by golden decotarion, pretty impressive! Note to the single ladies: It is believed that if you pray with devotion to St. Anthony, you'll find a couple. I already prayed so, i can say it is true! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/12/2019 Padua's Cappella degli Scrovegni Padova (28Km) Padua's Cappella degli Scrovegni The main feature is the frescoe walls done by Giotto from 1303-05. It depicts the sotires of Mary, Jesus through his life and the Judgment. The paintings are ringing around the chapel and on three levels for each theme. Above the main door is painting of the Last Judgment. Most have been restored to bring out the color of the paintings. This era led the way into the Renaissance period and new revival of art. The chapel was built by Enrico Scrovegni to try and absolve the sins of his family for usury by his father, Reginaldo, who reportedly was the sinner in religious eyes. The land was a Roman arena and some columns are still out in the grounds. The building was in neglect for years and the portico and facade collapsed, adn the palace of Enrico destroyed. The Wiegand foundation sponsored restoration and the re-opening was in 2005. Besides the chapel, there is an adjacent and absolutely fabulous museum area with a video show of the chapel and history. There are also many archeological items and antiques from the Roman era. This was as impressive as the chapel itself. You need reservations ahead to purchase tickets and time slot allocated. We got reservations and ticket for Padova card on line, easily. You have to be on site 1 hour before entering: everyone needs a 15 minute detox to cleanse before entering. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 30/06/2020 A vist to Scrovegni’s Chapel Padova (28Km) A vist to Scrovegni’s Chapel Giotto’s Cappella degli Scrovegni (Scrovegni’s Chapel) is an expression of Italian renaissance painting that you can absolutely not to miss in your journey to Padova. For art lover’s a visit to this Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary is worth by itself of a visit to Padova. Henry, of the Scrovegni’s Italian family, commissioned to Giotto the interior decoration of this chapel, which the painter took out probably between 1303 and 1305. The style of Giotto is absolutely amazing and this decoration is so important in western art history because it marked a full break with the past. The frescoes are full of meaning and completely cover the walls of the building telling the most important episodes in the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The result is an entity where you can see improvements in the painter's style, with solid figures and bulky and color variations that enhance the tones. On the walls there are magnificent series of paintings, including the Stories of the Virgin Mary, the stories of Jesus infancy and life, the death, passion and resurrection of Christ. The tomb of Henry Scrovegni is where is located the painting of the Last Judgement, a sort of symbolism in a metaphot of life and death. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 10/09/2019 Padova’s Botanical Garden Padova (28Km) Padova’s Botanical Garden In the University of Padova there is a beautiful natural museum.

Above the main door is painting of the Last Judgment. Most have been restored to bring out the color of the paintings. This era led the way into the Renaissance period and new revival of art. The chapel was built by Enrico Scrovegni to try and absolve the sins of his family for usury by his father, Reginaldo, who reportedly was the sinner in religious eyes. The land was a Roman arena and some columns are still out in the grounds. The building was in neglect for years and the portico and facade collapsed, adn the palace of Enrico destroyed. The Wiegand foundation sponsored restoration and the re-opening was in 2005. Besides the chapel, there is an adjacent and absolutely fabulous museum area with a video show of the chapel and history.

The style of Giotto is absolutely amazing and this decoration is so important in western art history because it marked a full break with the past. The frescoes are full of meaning and completely cover the walls of the building telling the most important episodes in the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The result is an entity where you can see improvements in the painter's style, with solid figures and bulky and color variations that enhance the tones. On the walls there are magnificent series of paintings, including the Stories of the Virgin Mary, the stories of Jesus infancy and life, the death, passion and resurrection of Christ.

For art lover’s a visit to this Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary is worth by itself of a visit to Padova. Henry, of the Scrovegni’s Italian family, commissioned to Giotto the interior decoration of this chapel, which the painter took out probably between 1303 and 1305. The style of Giotto is absolutely amazing and this decoration is so important in western art history because it marked a full break with the past. The frescoes are full of meaning and completely cover the walls of the building telling the most important episodes in the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The result is an entity where you can see improvements in the painter's style, with solid figures and bulky and color variations that enhance the tones. On the walls there are magnificent series of paintings, including the Stories of the Virgin Mary, the stories of Jesus infancy and life, the death, passion and resurrection of Christ. The tomb of Henry Scrovegni is where is located the painting of the Last Judgement, a sort of symbolism in a metaphot of life and death. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 10/09/2019 Padova’s Botanical Garden Padova (28Km) Padova’s Botanical Garden In the University of Padova there is a beautiful natural museum.

In its historical center there are examples of great artistic significance such as the Palazzo della Ragione, full of frescoes. Among the religious buildings, we remember the famous Scrovegni Chapel, the most famous after the Sistine Chapel, for the richness of frescoes inside. Among the many art treasures, we must remember that Padua each year attracts millions of tourists because it is known worldwide as the city of St. Anthony, the famous French Portuguese friar born in Lisbon in 1195, who lived in Padua until his death.

Among the religious buildings, we remember the famous Scrovegni Chapel, the most famous after the Sistine Chapel, for the richness of frescoes inside. Among the many art treasures, we must remember that Padua each year attracts millions of tourists because it is known worldwide as the city of St. Anthony, the famous French Portuguese friar born in Lisbon in 1195, who lived in Padua until his death. Here today we can visit the Basilica dedicated to him, built a few months after his death, where the Saint's relics are kept, and after a few years, the sanctuary was already showing its domes, minarets and the radiating chapels, adorned in the years following special works of art created between the thirteenth century and the present day.

Padua's Cappella degli Scrovegni Padova (28Km) Padua's Cappella degli Scrovegni The main feature is the frescoe walls done by Giotto from 1303-05. It depicts the sotires of Mary, Jesus through his life and the Judgment. The paintings are ringing around the chapel and on three levels for each theme. Above the main door is painting of the Last Judgment. Most have been restored to bring out the color of the paintings. This era led the way into the Renaissance period and new revival of art. The chapel was built by Enrico Scrovegni to try and absolve the sins of his family for usury by his father, Reginaldo, who reportedly was the sinner in religious eyes. The land was a Roman arena and some columns are still out in the grounds. The building was in neglect for years and the portico and facade collapsed, adn the palace of Enrico destroyed. The Wiegand foundation sponsored restoration and the re-opening was in 2005. Besides the chapel, there is an adjacent and absolutely fabulous museum area with a video show of the chapel and history. There are also many archeological items and antiques from the Roman era. This was as impressive as the chapel itself. You need reservations ahead to purchase tickets and time slot allocated.

The paintings are ringing around the chapel and on three levels for each theme. Above the main door is painting of the Last Judgment. Most have been restored to bring out the color of the paintings. This era led the way into the Renaissance period and new revival of art. The chapel was built by Enrico Scrovegni to try and absolve the sins of his family for usury by his father, Reginaldo, who reportedly was the sinner in religious eyes. The land was a Roman arena and some columns are still out in the grounds. The building was in neglect for years and the portico and facade collapsed, adn the palace of Enrico destroyed. The Wiegand foundation sponsored restoration and the re-opening was in 2005. Besides the chapel, there is an adjacent and absolutely fabulous museum area with a video show of the chapel and history. There are also many archeological items and antiques from the Roman era. This was as impressive as the chapel itself. You need reservations ahead to purchase tickets and time slot allocated. We got reservations and ticket for Padova card on line, easily. You have to be on site 1 hour before entering: everyone needs a 15 minute detox to cleanse before entering.

For art lover’s a visit to this Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary is worth by itself of a visit to Padova. Henry, of the Scrovegni’s Italian family, commissioned to Giotto the interior decoration of this chapel, which the painter took out probably between 1303 and 1305. The style of Giotto is absolutely amazing and this decoration is so important in western art history because it marked a full break with the past. The frescoes are full of meaning and completely cover the walls of the building telling the most important episodes in the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The result is an entity where you can see improvements in the painter's style, with solid figures and bulky and color variations that enhance the tones.

Among the many art treasures, we must remember that Padua each year attracts millions of tourists because it is known worldwide as the city of St. Anthony, the famous French Portuguese friar born in Lisbon in 1195, who lived in Padua until his death. Here today we can visit the Basilica dedicated to him, built a few months after his death, where the Saint's relics are kept, and after a few years, the sanctuary was already showing its domes, minarets and the radiating chapels, adorned in the years following special works of art created between the thirteenth century and the present day. In this place the atmosphere is special, the example of the Saint's life draws people to a deep reflection during a visit to the beautiful decorated chapel. For those who want to fully understand the religious track of the city, you just have to visit the many religious buildings that populate it, including colors, sounds and aromas typical of the Veneto region which take back to ancient times, where the clock for Padua has stopped. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 28/04/2020 Accommodation All (22) Farm house (2) B&B (7) Hotels (13) Residence (1) HOTEL FILANDA Cittadella Le Tre Grazie San Martino di Lupari (5 Km) Agriturismo La Madoneta San Giorgio in Bosco (5 Km) La Madoneta is an ancient country house, recently restored with great care and attention to detail by the family themselves, in accordance with age old tradition.

Padova is a city in the Veneto region, an important center of artistic, cultural and religious importance, which houses one of the most renowned universities in Italy. The city is the oldest in Northern Italy and it is surrounded by 11 km of walls dating from the 16th century.
