Vaulting and Ceiling of St Anthony Basilica in Padua

Vaulting and Ceiling of St Anthony Basilica in Padua

Inside, the church follows a typical basilica layout with three naves but no protruding transept. The nave is expansive, lined with massive columns that draw the eyes upward to vaulted ceilings, which are particularly beautifully decorated towards the front, choir, and apse of the church.
