Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua
Piazza del Santo
Padua, May 2025
“The Pontifical Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua (Italian: Basilica Pontificia di Sant'Antonio di Padova) is a Catholic church and minor basilica in Padua, Veneto, Northern Italy, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. Although the basilica is visited as a place of pilgrimage by people from all over the world, it is not the cathedral of the city, a title belonging to the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Mary of Padua. The basilica is known locally as ‘il Santo’. It is one of the national shrines recognized by the Holy See. Two chapels within the Basilica of Saint Anthony — the Cappella di San Giacomo and the Cappella del beato Luca Belludi — are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Padua's fourteenth-century fresco cycles, inscribed in 2021.” (Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, Wikipedia)
