Loggia dei Carraresi, Medieval loggia in central Padua, Italy
The Loggia dei Carraresi features nine columns of pink Verona marble arranged in two levels, forming double porticoes with projecting roofs.
Ubertino da Carrara commissioned architect Domenico da Firenze to construct this palace section between 1339 and 1343 as part of the Reggia Carrarese complex.
The chapel within contains a fresco cycle by Guariento depicting Old Testament scenes, painted between 1355 and 1360 in the Paduan artistic style.
Visitors can access the loggia from Via dell'Accademia 7 in Padua, with guided tours available Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00.
The structure houses an important 1784 map of Padua by Giovanni Valle, who introduced trigonometric calculations to cartography.
