Coles History of the Cathedrals and Churches in the Province of Padova - Italy at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The history of the cathedrals and churches of the Province of Padova is, in many ways, the history of the province itself. Across centuries, these sacred buildings have served not only as places of worship but also as repositories of collective memory, artistic innovation, political negotiation, and social transformation. To walk through Padova's ecclesiastical landscape is to move through layers of time, each church a palimpsest in which earlier eras remain visible beneath later interventions. The stones of these structures speak, and what they say is never merely architectural. They recount the aspirations of communities, the ambitions of patrons, the devotion of pilgrims, and the shifting tides of theological and cultural change. This book seeks to explore that vast and intricate story, tracing the evolution of sacred architecture in the province from its earliest Christian expressions to its contemporary forms.
