An internationally renowned place of worship, it is also a monument of fundamental importance to the history of art and architecture, and is of particular significance in the history of fourteenth-century painting. <br \/> The Basilica houses frescoes by Giotto, in the Chapel of the Black Madonna, the Benediction Chapel and the Chapter Hall; by Giusto de\u2019 Menabuoi, in the Chapel of the Blessed Luca Belludi; and by Altichiero da Zevio and Jacopo Avanzi, in the St. James Chapel. Work on this majestic structure began in 1232, a year after St. Anthony\u2019s death, and would be concluded by 1310. <br \/>Inside, the  Cappella del Santo (The Saint\u2019s Chapel) houses the tomb containing the body of St. Anthony; the artists who worked on adorning this tomb included Tullio Lombardo, Andrea Briosco and Gianmaria Falconetto.<\/p>\n<p><a
