A university city in the Veneto with a medieval centre of wide, arcaded piazzas, Padua's primary artistic destination is the Scrovegni Chapel, whose interior walls are entirely covered by Giotto's fresco cycle completed around 1305—a work widely regarded as foundational to Western painting. The Basilica of Sant'Antonio, a complex of eight domes, draws pilgrims from across the Catholic world, while the Prato della Valle is one of the largest town squares in Italy.
