Scrovegni Chapel
The Scrovegni Chapel (Arena Chapel) is a small, early 14th-century private chapel in Padua decorated with a continuous fresco cycle by Giotto and his workshop. It was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni and contains extensive narrative scenes of the Life of Christ and the Life of the Virgin, plus a Last Judgement on the rear wall and grisaille figures of the Vices and Virtues.

As it stood in 1305
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, rectangular single-nave brick building with a steep tiled gable roof and a small stone cross at the ridge. The plain red-brick façade has a triple‑lancet pointed window high in the gable and a single arched portal with alternating brick voussoirs; an iron fence runs before the entrance and trees close in on the lot. Inside every wall and the ceiling are completely covered by fresco panels arranged in four horizontal tiers, with a large Last Judgement on the rear counter‑façade; the nave measures about 20.88 m by 8.41 m and rises to 12.65 m.
