[2025 Padua Attraction] Travel Guide for The Basilica of St. Anthony (Updated May)

It's very beautiful. It's free to visit, but the church clearly stipulates that you can't take photos and videos, so I took a few photos outside~ Giotto's murals are very well preserved. Walking into the church is like walking into a large art gallery. Even the facial expressions of the characters on the mural can be clearly seen. The dark blue starry sky at the top of the church is also impressive, which is really magnificent and gorgeous. #100WaysOfTravel #churches #ancienttown

| Basilica of Saint Anthony. 🕹Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua ✅Piazza del Santo,11,35123 Padova PD, Italy 💫Padua is not a big city, and most of the core areas are within walking distance. In comparison, the church covers a considerable area. 💞From the outside, the Byzantine onion dome and Romanesque red brick facade are already very distinctive, but the interior of the church is even more gorgeous. 👣Renaissance sculptures, Gothic cloisters, frescoes, and Baroque decorations are all mixed here, mainly because the church was expanded and modified many times after it was built, so it gradually integrated architectural and decorative styles from different eras. This is also an important charm of this church. 🤗In short, the degree of interior splendor is indeed amazing, which I did not expect before stepping into this church. 🚩The church is open for free. 🚩Note that this refers to the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, Italy, not to be confused with the church of the same name in Istanbul, Turkey.
