Sant'Andrea, Neo-Romanesque church on Via Sant'Andrea, Padua, Italy

Sant'Andrea is a church in Padua rebuilt from 1875 to 1884 in Neo-Romanesque style, with a facade facing south. Its central section has two orders: three portals below and a large trifora with two niches and a tympanum above. The interior has three naves separated by Corinthian columns, and traces of the 12th-century facade remain on the left flank.

Sant'Andrea appears in documents by the 12th century and was named a parish church in 1178; the original building had a single nave, a west-facing facade and five altars. In 1614 its orientation changed, with the facade opened on the former side wall and the presbytery moved north. Under provost Andrea Sacchetto it was divided into three naves and redecorated between 1875 and 1884 in Neo-Romanesque style, and it was reconsecrated on 17 October 1941.

Works by artists like Francesco Bonazza are displayed throughout the interior. These pieces remain at the heart of religious observances and celebrations that continue to take place here.

The church is located near Padua's city center and opens during designated visiting hours. Visitors should plan around active religious services, as these may affect accessibility or when you can enter.

Outside the church stands a stone column topped by a lion, erected by the community in 1209 to commemorate parish members who fought at the battle of Padua against Azzo VI of Este, marquis of Este. It was nearly destroyed in the riots of 1796 during the Napoleonic occupation of the Veneto.
