Pictured is the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua in the Basilica of San Francesco in Ravena, Italy. The Basilica of San Francesco was originally consecrated to the Holy Apostles and then to Saint Peter, and dates back to the middle of the 5th century AD. However, little or nothing remains of the old church, which was repeatedly restored over the centuries. In particular, from 1261 to 1810, and again between 1949 and today, the Franciscans chose it as their seat with the current name of Saint Francis.
