The Basilica of St. Anthony at Piazza del Santo, 11
An internationally renowned place of worship, it is also a monument of fundamental importance to the history of art and architecture, and is of particular significance in the history of fourteenth-century painting.

Cathedral on Piazza Duomo
The Baptistery of the Cathedral was frescoed between 1375 and 1378 by the Florentine painter Giusto de' Menabuoi, commissioned by Fina Buzzaccarini, wife of Francesco I da Carrara. The Florentine artist created his masterpiece here, one of the fourteenth century's most spectacular and best-preserved pictorial cycles.

Ragione Palace at Piazza delle Erbe
Considered a masterpiece of civil medieval architecture, it was heavily damaged by a fire in 1420 that destroyed, among other things, an elaborate cycle of frescoes by Giotto and his students that adorned il Salone (the Great Hall). The hall, 81m (266 ft.) long, was almost immediately rebuilt and today is the prime draw, for both its floor-to-ceiling 15th-century frescoes -- commissioned immediately after the fire -- by Nicola Miretto.

Scrovegni chapel at Piazza Eremitani, 9
The fresco cycles adorning the interior surface of the Scrovegni Chapel, or “Cappella degli Scrovegni” in the original Italian, are unanimously viewed as the most important work of famous Italian artist Giotto di Bondone. Here his painting style achieved a deeper maturity and concepts like depth, volume, and space reached a more complex and organic level of realization, all of which would pave the way for the Renaissance artists.
