Images Sant'Antonio, Padua, Italy.
Famous today as a pilgrimage church, Sant'Antonio preserves the remains of the 13th century Franciscan St. Anthony. Although Anthony was born in Portugal, his last residence was in Padua. Revered as a preacher and worker of wonders, he was canonized in 1232, a year after his death. The church is a mixture of traditions. It has both Romanesque and Gothic arches.
