Church of Santa Maria ‘ad Portas Contarenas’
Via Matteotti
Padova, May 2025
“As attested by the inscription on the facade, the Church was built in 1723, by the Comini family who built the church for public use. Later, in 1839, together with Palazzo Cavalli, the Church became the seat of the Austrian Customs, and after the Unification of Italy it was used as a hydraulic warehouse. In 1893, when the mill was purchased and modernised by Ilario Ercego, the little church risked being demolished, but was finally restored in 1968, as the plaque on the façade recalls.” (Porte Contarine, Wikipedia)
