Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua






The Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua is probably the most important church in Padua. The church houses the tomb of St. Anthony and a lot of relics dedicated to him. On display are his tongue, jaw and vocal chords (kinda creepy). It was a really interesting church because of its Byzantine style which is not something I see in Rome. It kinda reminded me of Verona because of its mix of architecture styles and cultures throughout the city.
