Padua Cathedral, Cathedral and minor basilica in Padua, Italy
The Cathedral features two distinct architectural styles, with a Renaissance interior structure complemented by Baroque decorative elements throughout the building.
Following the destruction of the original church by an earthquake in 1117, the current structure underwent construction from 1551 to 1754.
The Cathedral serves as the principal Catholic worship site in Padua, maintaining its role as the episcopal seat since the fourth century.
The Cathedral complex includes the main church building, an adjacent baptistery, and the Diocesan Museum, all located at Via Dietro Duomo.
The baptistery contains medieval frescoes depicting the previous Romanesque cathedral, providing a visual record of the former structure.
