Architecture in Padua
In Padua art, culture, nature, science and spirituality blend in a unique mix that makes the visit a complete enjoyment.The city can be discovered in many ways, simply wandering around, appreciating the sightings behind every corner.Although the city is fairly well sized for Italian standards, the vast majority of interesting sights is concentrated in the city centre. That is quite common for most Italian cities because they often developed around the ancient roman or medieval walled town. Furthermore, the two rivers of the town (the Brenta, from North to east and the Bacchiglione, from south) and the net of navigable canals set the boudaries of Padova. Walls and canals determined not only its shape but its history and its development. A nice way to see Padova from a different perspective is to navigate along the internal canals with one of the boat tours departing from the ancient port of the Portello.
