Originally consecrated on March 15th, 1248, the later building of the Sanctuary of St. Anthony of Padua is a place of enormous historical, cultural and artistic importance. Not only due to the architectural remains dating back to the 13th century, such as the Saint's Cell, but also to the collection of religious works of art housed in the 'Renato Raffaelli' Museum, which narrate the religious history of the area from the 15th to the 19th century.
 
TRIVIA- This is the oldest sanctuary in the world dedicated to the Saint from Padua, and is the northern gateway to the pilgrim route leading to the Saint's tomb.
