ABOUT DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, PADOVA
Padova is an enchanting medieval Italian city; a place whose university counted amongst it professors Galileo Galilei himself. The city is known for its historic public squares, iconic architecture, museums and amazing cuisine. It's now also renowned for the meticulously restored villa that is home to the Church of Scientology Padova.

The Church building is a landmark Venetian villa originally constructed in 1744. After World War II, the building fell into disrepair and stood as a shell of its former self. After the Church acquired the building, it engaged local artisans skilled in age-old techniques to bring the building back to its former glory. Teams of specialists restored ornate cornices, original frescoes and Venetian terrazzo floors. The final result breathed life back into a vital and historically significant landmark.
