Veneto is one of the Italian regions that deserve to be explored for its pearls to be discovered, not only in small towns, but also in large cities such as Padua. Among the first historical buildings that you absolutely must visit in Padua, there is the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, an example of Gothic, Byzantine and Romanesque art, which houses splendid frescoes dating back to the fourteenth century. Not far from the Basilica we find Prato della Valle which with its 88 thousand square meters of extension is the largest square not only in Padua in Europe, the 78 statues that surround it are also beautiful to admire. Another important square in the city of Padua is Piazza delle Erbe, where we find the largest fruit and vegetable market in the city and the imposing 'Palazzo della Reason' building erected around 1200 where the court and other offices are currently located. Furthermore, you cannot miss the clock tower, which preserves the oldest mechanism in the world of its size, another peculiarity is given by the fact that it not only marks the time but also the day, the month, the constellation , the phases of the moon and the sun. It seems that Padua is capable of enchanting even the most curious.
