Padua Essentials

Padua showcases a dense concentration of Italian artistic and scientific milestones. The city is defined by Giotto’s 14th-century frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel and the multi-domed Basilica of Saint Anthony. Academic history is preserved at Palazzo del Bo, the historic heart of one of the world's oldest universities, and the 16th-century Orto Botanico. Architectural highlights include the massive medieval hall of Palazzo della Ragione and Prato della Valle, one of Europe’s largest squares, bordered by a canal and 78 statues of illustrious figures.
