4/27.- Padua, Basilica di SantAntonio
This Basilica, also known as the Santos Basilica, is a 1232
work. It has eight Byzantine domes --similar to the domes of the San
Marcos Basilica, in Venice.
It is one of the more richly decorated basilicas in Italy.
Unfortunately as you can see in the photo the Church was under
reconstruction when I visited it. The Basilica was being cleaned up
for the Millennium celebrations. If you are planning to visit this
city youll be luckier, because the restoration finished in November
1999.
