scrovegni chapel
section::::building and decoration.:modern period.









































the chapel was originally connected with the scrovegni palace, which was built on what remained of the foundations of the elliptical ancient roman arena. the palace was demolished in 1827 in order to sell the precious materials it contained and to erect two condominiums in its place. the chapel was purchased by the municipality of the city of padua in 1881, a year after the city council's deliberation of 10 may 1880 leading to a decision to demolish the condominiums and restore the chapel.
