During this upcoming Christmas holiday, Padovanità offers you this interesting visit to one of the places that represents the heart of the Paduan church: the Bishop’s Palace and the Diocesan Museum.
We will have the opportunity to be enchanted by the explanations of our guide through a true journey through time as we explore the museum path. The origins of the Palace date back to 1309, when the pre-existing complex was equipped with a large representative hall, the Hall. In the 15th century, the medieval building was transformed into a magnificent Renaissance residence: the extraordinary decoration of the Hall was commissioned by Bishop Pietro Barozzi, an erudite humanist and attentive shepherd of his diocese. He commissioned Vicentine Bartolomeo Montagna to create the portraits of the first hundred bishops of Padua.
Within this extraordinary architectural context, the exhibition rooms gather works of painting, sculpture, goldsmithing, and textile art from the Cathedral’s Treasure and the parishes of the Diocese, testifying to the happy union between artistic expression, artisanal knowledge, and faith experience over the centuries.
A single visit shift is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM, lasting approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
A contribution of €14 per participant is required (€12 for members), and €8 for children up to 12 years old.
Advance reservation is necessary and can be made via WhatsApp message to our number 371/6890812.
