Cittadella (Padova)
The church butted against the walls next to the Padova Gate is named after the only wedge-shaped turret in the entire boundary walls, which from the very beginning had been transformed into a bell-tower. An interesting wooden crucifix can be admired in the interior of the Church, while its side altars are surmounted by paintings. Also notable are the pulpit and medieval marble basin originating from the ancient Church of San Nicolò of Mejaniga, a village existing on the site prior to Cittadella. Currently the church hosts exhibitions.
