The Church of the Eremitani was erected as the Church of Saints Philip and James between 1260 and 1306 for the Eremitan friars of St Augustine. During the 14th century, it became one of the most important churches in Padua and was embellished with the works of the greatest artists active in the city, such as Andrea Mantegna and Guariento.

An institution in the city of Padua and a must do when you come here! I recommend a short visit to everyone and if you want, you can also consume their ‘Caffè Pedrocchi’: a drink that combines espresso coffee, cocoa, milk and mint syrup!
Duration: 25 minutes

Dedicated to Saint Mary of the Assumption, it took its present form thanks to the architect Andrea da Valle, following a design by Michelangelo Buonarroti ( the famous Michelangelo! ) dating back to 1551.

For centuries this square was the ‘commercial centre’ of the city. Unlike the nearby Piazza dei Signori where the more ‘institutional’ celebrations were held, Piazza delle Erbe was home to the more popular festivities. The imposing Palazzo della Ragione overlooks the square.
Duration: 15 minutes
The Studium Patavinum, i.e. the University of Padua, today one of the most popular universities in Italy, was founded in 1222 to accommodate students who had moved away from the Alma Mater in Bologna, considered too controlled by the Church. We'll find this into the Palazzo Bo!
