The Basilica of St. Anthony

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.
