Beautiful like Venice, smart like Bologna - what city and where do they say so? Such sayings circulate in the Veneto region (Veneto), and refer to Padua, picturesquely situated on the Bacchiglione River, in the Po plain, in north-eastern Italy. Thanks to its location, Padua is a great starting point for exploring the attractions of the region. Famous Venice, the city of gondolas, is 40 km away, so you can easily go on a day trip to the capital of Veneto . But Padua itself is unlikely to bore anyone. It is an old center (founded in the 4th century BC), during its long history it has experienced severe damage several times, being an independent republic, attacks by the French and Austrians, and finally joining the Kingdom of Italy. Many traces of a turbulent past remain in it. The patron saint of the city is St. Justyna, the most eminent virgin of Padua. A chapel was built on her grave, and then a church. In the 16th century, as a result of an earthquake, the temple was completely destroyed. In the following years, the monumental building Basilica di Santa Giustina , which is today a symbol of Padua, was erected on the ruins.
