Padua's Scrovegni Chapel

This small but mighty chapel draws art pilgrims for one reason: Giotto’s revolutionary frescoes (1303-1305). Though meticulously restored, visits are strictly timed (15-min slots) to preserve these fragile masterpieces. 🌟 Why It’s Special "The Last Judgment" here is dramatic and detailed—a blueprint for Michelangelo’s later version! Fun fact: The Sistine Chapel’s famous fresco came 180 years after this one! (And yes, this is the wall, not the ceiling 😉) 🎟️ Visiting Tips Book online (but walk-ins often work off-season) 30-min total: 15-min intro video + 15-min chapel viewing Free bag storage at ticket office Bonus: Nearby archaeological museum 🏛️ 💡 Pair With...
