The Cathedral of San Antonio is a landmark building in Padua, built in the 13th century and completed in the early 14th century, and subsequently modified, making the church structure influenced by a variety of styles (Figure 1). Roman-style facade, Byzantine dome, Gothic minarets (Figure 2). In front of the cathedral is a bronze statue, from the hands of Natero, many known as the "magical sculptor" (Figure 3). Street photography found rare benefits: elegant church, cool trot, mobike bicycles with the same frame, can see Chinese elements on the first day of the new year, it is quite happy (Figure 4). It is one of eight international pilgrimages recognized by the Holy See to welcome pilgrims from all over the world (Figure 5). The interior of the church is fascinating and the sculptures are extremely complex, with multiple Giotto murals (Figure 6). The back hall immediately felt that the designer had completely changed his style, and there was a sense of exoticism that fell into the Persian palace (Figure 7). The magnificent chapel, with many people in line, was because of the remains of St. Anthony (Figure 8). The altar sculptures and reliefs are Donatello's works, and the Renaissance is not only known to us as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, but also to the hundreds of giants who are "represented", which have so far been rare in our art education. Fortunately, Donatello was one of the names (Figure 9).

    On Sunday, I drove from Verona to Venice through Padua. I went to the city for a short tour. The streets on Sunday were empty, but I walked to St. Anthony's Cathedral and it was lively. There was a weekend market around the church and the church itself was famous. I had time to concentrate around the church.

    St. Anthony's Church is a mix of Western architecture, with Roman, Gothic, Byzantine and even Lombardy taking up a place, creating a magnificent church with fairy tale style. The square in front of the church and inside the church are many famous works by Donatello, the master of Renaissance sculpture.

    A famous church in the local area. There were quite a lot of people on the weekend. There is a bronze statue at the door, which is said to be a very powerful figure. The corridor at the entrance of the church is also a very classic location.

    Padua Cathedral is the most famous scenic spot in Padua. It was built between 1232 and 1300. The architectural design of this Roman-Gothic cathedral is also very distinctive, from the appearance of each angle is different. On the front square of the church stands a bronze statue of General Gatamelata, who defended Padova in the 15th century. It is the representative work of Donatello.

    On this day we came to Padua. The main plan is to eat at night at a restaurant ranked 27th in the world. By the way, explore what scenic spots Padua has to play with. This St. Anthony's church is very good. It also has a Chinese phonetic guide. You can see many letters written to Anthony by the believers, and you can watch the believers receive the blessings of the priest. Unlike the solemn atmosphere of St. Peter's Cathedral, it is full of warmth and happiness.
