Padua is home to the spectacular Basilica of Saint Anthony. It is one of only eight shrines recognized by the Holy See. The building is a mix of Gothic, Byzantine, and Romanesque styles. Inside features stunning frescos and ornate decorations.
Visit one of Europe's biggest squares, Prato della Valle, found next to the Basilica of Saint Anthony. Elliptical in shape, the square covers a massive 90,000 square meters. It features many beautiful statues that ring its central green island and surrounding canal. The square is frequently used to host events, such as concerts, fairs, and markets.
You can find some of Italy's most masterful artwork in both fresco and architectural at the Cappella degli Scrovegni. Highlights of its collection are the 14th century artwork - Giotto's magnificent frescos, which the artist completed in 1305.
Don't miss exploring one of Padua's oldest and largest markets at Piazza delle Erbe. The market fills the square daily with fresh fruit and vegetable traders.
One of the most prominent and historic buildings in Padua is its Medieval town hall, Palazzo della Ragione. The building was begun in 1172, completed in 1219, and the roof was added in 1306. Inside, the walls are painted with beautiful frescos. The building was once a court building, but today contains shops on one floor.
Arguably the most beautiful garden in Padua, the Orto Botanico certainly has earned its UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
