In the historic city of Padua, the 14th-century Scrovegni Chapel features one of the most important works of western art in Italy, the fresco cycle by Giotto. Covering the interior walls of the church, Giotto's frescoes narrate the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. Wander through the church to admire the intricate detail of the frescoes, while your guide reveals details of the site's history.

One of the masterpieces of Western art, a major fresco cycle, needs more than 13 minutes for viewing. They claim it's 15 minutes, not true. And of course 15 minutes wouldn't be enough either.

My daughter and I visited the Scrovegni Chapel this morning and what an amazing place it is. We were extremely fortunate to have RUGGERO R as our guide, who went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most from the experience - we were very appreciative. I thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Padova.

One of a kind art treasure. Countless details. Educate yourself about it before you go and you will get much more from the time controlled experience. Do buy tickets on line ahead. Time slots do fill up. No ticket, no visit.
