Cittadella (Padova)
The monastery of the Franciscan Fathers was built around 1481 and has always been a very active spiritual centre. The beautiful cloister was built around a simple belltower. It has porticoes on two sides with interesting sailceilings in its interiors. The church has but one nave, three altars with altar pieces, frescoes and burial places of important families. The monastery keeps some paintings by Venetian painters of the 17th and 18th century, including “Madonna con il Bambino tra i Santi Francesco e Antonio da Padova” (Our Lady and Child with the Saints Francesco and Anthony of Padova)
