The facade of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua
The facade of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.
And here is the church of the Saint, one of the largest religious buildings in Italy, in Padua.
A little Romanesque (the gabled facade), Gothic (the flying buttresses) and Byzantine (the dome) perfectly harmonized.
It houses the remains of one of the most venerated Saints in the Christian world.

The Pontifical Minor Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua is one of the main Catholic places of worship in the city of Padua, in the Veneto region. Known worldwide as the Basilica del Santo, or more simply as the Saint, it is one of the largest churches in the world and is visited annually by over 6.5 million pilgrims, making it one of the most venerated sanctuaries in the Christian world. However, it is not the city's cathedral, a title that belongs to the cathedral. The relics of Saint Anthony of Padua and his tomb are kept there.
