Lo mejor de Padua

Provincia di Padova's Absolute Essentials

This collection highlights Padua’s architectural and artistic milestones, anchored by Giotto’s 14th-century frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel and the medieval Palazzo della Ragione. The city’s academic history is centered at Palazzo del Bo, the University’s historic seat, and La Specola, a former castle tower turned astronomical observatory. Religious landmarks include the Padua Baptistery, known for its complete fresco cycles, and the Church of Eremitani. Civic life unfolds at the Torre dell’Orologio’s zodiac clock and the 18th-century Pedrocchi Café, a landmark hub for Italian intellectuals.
