• Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni)
  "Well worth the trouble"
  "It takes a bit of an effort to be allowed to visit the chapel: one must make reervations, and then adhere to the timetable of availability, as only a limited number of visitors are allowed in at a time, and even then, only after 15 minutes in a pressurized room. But the chapel, a little jewel of me..."dieval fresco art, is well worth the trouble. The colour blue predominates (especially since the ceiling represents a starry sky) and the walls represent biblical scenes as well as scenes from the Vigin Mary and Saints' lives. " More >
• Baptistry
  "Well worth a visit. Don't miss it."
  "Next to the Duomo, which is not very spectacular, the Baptistry is impressively decorated with paintings by Giusto de Menaboi (12th century). It is undoubtedly a matter of taste, but some people feel this place is "even more beautiful than the Scrovegni Chapel" and certainly more accessible to visi..."t, and the ban on photography is not taken too seriously either, which allows one to bring home a few pictures to make the pleasure last longer. The frescoes are clear and colourful and extremely well preserved. " More >
• Palace of Law (Palazzo della Ragione)
  "Impressive"
  "More frescoes, you might say. Sure, but they are superb, and decorate a long hall (80 m or so) that used to house the Court of Justice. The hall also contains a very large wooden horse: not, mind you, a cast of the bronze horse that Leonardo planned for years and which was never to be; but an impr..."essive piec of art nevertheless.
