The Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel because of the nearby Ancient Roman arena.

The chapel is known for its impressive cycle of frescoes painted by Giotto, a Florentine painter and architect.

Nearly every interior surface of the chapel is covered in frescoes, depicting “The Life of Christ” and “The Life of the Virgin”.

The large counter-facade, above the doorway, includes a depiction of Hell clearly inspired by The Divine Comedy of Dante.
