CHIESA DEGLI EREMITANI
Go there and contact
Church with a nave and remarkable frescoes of the fourteenth century in Padua.
Construction of the Chiesa degli Eremitani began in 1276 and was completed in 1306 under the direction of Brother Giovanni Eremitani, creator of its remarkable wooden ceiling and external portico. The sober, single-nave interior is adorned with 14th-century frescoes. Among these, the works of Paduan Andrea Mantegna, illustrating the lives of Saints James and Christopher, were severely damaged during the bombing raids of 1944. Only Mantegna's frescoes in the Ovetari chapel (south of the sanctuary) were completely spared.
