The Basilica of Santa Giustina<\/strong> is one of the most important places of worship in Padua<\/strong> and one of the largest basilicas in Europe. A pilgrimage destination since the earliest Christian communities, it stands on the burial site of Saint Giustina<\/strong>, considered Padua’s first martyr, killed at only sixteen years old on October 7, 304<\/strong> during the final persecutions against Christians. <\/p>\n The basilica is part of a vast Benedictine monastic complex<\/strong>, among the most significant in Veneto. Inside are preserved relics of exceptional religious and historical value: <\/p>\n This extraordinary concentration of relics makes the basilica a fundamental stop in the history of Christianity in the Veneto region.<\/p>\n The current building, a magnificent example of late Renaissance style<\/strong>, draws inspiration from the great models of imperial Roman architecture. At 120 meters in length<\/strong>, Santa Giustina is the largest church in Padua<\/strong>. <\/p>\n A distinctive element of the architectural profile are the imposing external domes<\/strong>, typical of Venetian sacred architecture, which make the basilica immediately recognizable even from a great distance.<\/p>\n The guided tour of the Basilica of Santa Giustina allows you to admire numerous works of the highest quality:<\/p>\n Visit Veneto with our authorized guides<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Contact us now for a quote<\/strong> or book online<\/strong> your guided tour of the Basilica of Santa Giustina in Padua<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3944,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-visita-guidata":[71,61],"tag-visita-guidata":[63],"class_list":["post-3943","visita-guidata","type-visita-guidata","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-padua","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-veneto","tag-visita-guidata-monuments"],"acf":{"introduzione_visita":"Discover the Basilica of Santa Giustina in Padua with an authorized guided tour<\/strong>: precious relics<\/strong>, Venetian domes<\/strong>, and works of art<\/strong> of exceptional value.","durata_visita_guidata":"90 minutes","luogo_visita_guidata":"Padua, Basilica of Santa Giustina","fruizione":"Guided tour with authorized guide inside the monastic complex","lingue":"Italian, English, French","intro_categoria":"Discover the Basilica of Santa Giustina, one of Padua's most impressive monasteries, guardian of ancient relics and artistic masterpieces.
