Ablauf
A small church is hiding a monumental treasure. The Scrovegni Chapel stands within the area of the Roman amphitheatre in Padua. The façade itself is built on the basis of an important Roman building, traces of which remain today. Inside you'll find the amazin paintings by Mr Giotto itself! Ticket is not included (16€)
The Church of the Eremitani was erected as the Church of Saints Philip and James between 1260 and 1306 for the Eremitan friars of St Augustine. During the 14th century, it became one of the most important churches in Padua and was embellished with the works of the greatest artists active in the city, such as Andrea Mantegna and Guariento.
An institution in the city of Padua and a must do when you come here! I recommend a short visit to everyone and if you want, you can also consume their ‘Caffè Pedrocchi’: a drink that combines espresso coffee, cocoa, milk and mint syrup!
One of the city’s many (and beautiful) squares! So called because here stood the “Palazzo della Signoria”, or “Palace of the Carraresi”, who were the Lords of Padua from 1318 to 1405.
Dedicated to Saint Mary of the Assumption, it took its present form thanks to the architect Andrea da Valle, following a design by Michelangelo Buonarroti ( the famous Michelangelo! ) dating back to 1551.
For centuries this square was the ‘commercial centre’ of the city. Unlike the nearby Piazza dei Signori where the more ‘institutional’ celebrations were held, Piazza delle Erbe was home to the more popular festivities. The imposing Palazzo della Ragione overlooks the square.
The Studium Patavinum, i.e. the University of Padua, today one of the most popular universities in Italy, was founded in 1222 to accommodate students who had moved away from the Alma Mater in Bologna, considered too controlled by the Church. We'll find this into the Palazzo Bo!
The “Basilica del Santo” is one of the most visited sanctuaries in the world. A treasure chest that also houses the remains of Saint Anthony of Padua, the Saint par excellence.
A great boast for the city of Padua! With an area of 88620 m², it is the second largest square in Europe, second only to Moscow’s Red Square.

About Padua
Padua is a university city in the Veneto, home to Giotto's frescoed Scrovegni Chapel, a pilgrimage basilica to Saint Anthony and a huge oval square.
The Scrovegni Chapel, frescoed by Giotto around 1305, is Padua's best-known treasure, and it belongs to a group of fourteenth-century fresco cycles that UNESCO has listed together. The Basilica of Saint Anthony, with its domes and the saint's tomb, draws pilgrims from across the world. The Prato della Valle, an oval square ringed by a canal and a circle of statues, is among the largest in Europe.
Top-ranked sights in Padua: Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni), Prato della Valle, Villa dei Vescovi.
