The Association Padovanità presents:
Discovering the Palazzo della Ragione and its undergrounds – Saturday, May 9, 2026 – Padua
After several months of closure, in collaboration with the archaeologist guides of Arc.A.Dia, we will visit the Hall of the Palazzo della Ragione and its beautiful Roman-era undergrounds with ongoing archaeological excavations.
It is a wonderful opportunity to visit one of the most characteristic places in Padua, taking us into its most hidden and mysterious corners. The original frescoes, attributed to Giotto, were destroyed in the fire of 1420; nevertheless, the Hall was repainted with a grand cycle on an astrological theme (completed between 1425 and 1440) based on the studies of Pietro d’Abano, a follower of Averroes.
Estimated duration of the tour is one hour and 30 minutes; comfortable footwear is recommended.
Two separate visiting slots are scheduled:
– First slot from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
– Second slot from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
A contribution of €16 (€15 for members) is required, for children up to 12 years old only €12.
Reservation is required via WhatsApp message to 3716890812
