CHIESA DEGLI EREMITANI
Go there and contact
Church with a nave and remarkable frescoes of the fourteenth century in Padua.
The construction of this church began in 1276 and was completed in 1306 by Brother Giovanni Eremitani, to whom we owe the wooden ceiling and the angular portico on the outside. The interior, with a single nave, is rich in frescoes of the fourteenth century. These paintings, especially those by the Paduan Andrea Mantegna, representing the lives of Saints James and Christopher, were unfortunately partly destroyed during the bombings of 1944. Only Mantegna's frescoes in the Ovetari Chapel (in the south of the sanctuary) were completely spared.
