Padua (Padova)Once second only to Rome in terms of wealth, Padua is a gorgeous
city. The fabulous architecture of the old town, dating back as far
as 1,000 AD, is a magnificent backdrop for the wealth of culture
the city contains. The main attraction is the cathedral dedicated
to St Anthony. The high altar is decorated with bronzes by
Donnatello, who was also responsible for the proud equestrian
statue of General Erasmo da Narni (
) that stands in the Piazza del Santo. Padua
is situated just 35km west of Venice, and makes a very worthwhile
daytrip destination. |
