Palazzo Capodilista, Medieval palace in Padua, Italy
The Palazzo Capodilista features six tall Paduan-style porticoes supported by substantial stone pillars and crowned with a 35-meter defensive tower.
Built in the early 13th century around a pre-existing defensive tower from the 2nd century, the palace remained in the Capodilista family until the 2000s.
The chapel, decorated between the 14th and 15th centuries, contains medieval frescoes, a ciborium, and a Lombard-style altarpiece representing local artistic traditions.
The palace currently houses part of the Emo Capodilista art collection, which forms a section of the Eremitani Civic Museums exhibitions.
The Gothic-style starred decorations on the portico vaults complement the tracery windows visible in the brick walls of this medieval structure.
