The Padovanità Association presents:

Discovering Palazzo Santo Stefano and its underground passages – Sunday, February 1, 2026 – Padua

The historic seat of the Province of Padua and the Prefecture, Palazzo Santo Stefano is a treasure trove of beauty and memories still little known to residents and tourists. Its origins date back to the year 1000 as a Benedictine convent, but many transformations have occurred, especially after the Napoleonic suppressions of 1810. Since 1868, the building has housed the Provincial Administration, the Prefecture, and the Prefect’s residence. It is a place waiting to be discovered, with the artistic and architectural beauty contained within its galleries, the grand entrance staircase, the splendid and frescoed council chamber, and the narrow underground rooms that served as an air-raid and gas shelter during the war.

There are three separate tours, at 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30, lasting approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.

A fee of €6 per participant is required (€5 for members), and €3 for children under 12.

For information and reservations, WhatsApp 371689081.

For those interested, there will be the option to purchase a Padovanità membership card for the 2026 year, which offers discounts and special offers.
