Euganei) are located nearby.
The town's most famous landmark, visible from afar, is the Cathedral San Pietro, called Duomo, on the hill between the town hall and the railway station.
It is a post WW-II brickstone building and was consecrated in 1963. The two huge frescos are by a local artist, Armando Migliolaro (1915-1999).
The left fresco, Patrimonium Petri, has the following Latin legend: In sapientia sermonis sui (instead of: eius) mirati sunt universi. This should mean: Everyone admired the wisdom of his speech. The possessive pronoun ""sui"" being reflexive, however, the artist made a serious mistake and the legend actually means: Everyone admired the wisdom of his own sermon. The syntactical error has not been noticed by churchgoers and church officials because ""sui"" sounds normal in Italian.
