Sant'Andrea, Padua

Traces of the original facade can be seen on the left flank of the church.

The semicircular apse now houses the marble altar once found in the church of San Marco in Padua, now razed.

It has three reliefs by Francesco Bonazza, depicting biblical scenes:Sacrifice of Isaac, Dinner at Emma Emmaus, and the Paschal Lamb.

They include a Miracle by St Francis Xavier by Natale Plache, originally from the extant Church of the Gesuiti in Padua; a St Martin in Glory (17th-century) once the main altarpiece of the church of San Martino in Padua; and two 16th century canvases depicting the Adoration by the Magi and Adoration by the Shepherds.

In riots surrounding the Napoleonic occupation of the Veneto in 1796, the column was nearly destroyed.
