"Construction of the Tower of Babel" is a fresco painted by the Italian artist Giusto di Giovanni de' Menabuoi, also known simply as Giusto de' Menabuoi, between 1360 and 1370. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Baptistery of the Cathedral of Padua, a significant example of Italian religious art from the 14th century. The fresco depicts the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, as recounted in the Book of Genesis, which tells of humanity's attempt to build a tower reaching to the heavens and God's subsequent decision to confound their speech, resulting in the scattering of people across the earth.

Giusto de' Menabuoi's interpretation of this narrative is notable for its detailed architectural representation of the tower and the depiction of the diverse activities of the workers involved in its construction. The fresco is a testament to the artist's skill in creating complex compositions and his ability to convey narrative through visual means. The work reflects the influence of Byzantine art, which is characteristic of Menabuoi's style, as well as the emerging Italian Renaissance sensibilities of the time.

The "Construction of the Tower of Babel" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, providing insight into the cultural and religious milieu of 14th-century Italy. The fresco is an important component of the Baptistery's decorative program, which is considered one of Giusto de' Menabuoi's masterpieces and a treasure of medieval art. The entire cycle of frescoes in the Baptistery, including the "Construction of the Tower of Babel," has been recognized for its exceptional preservation and the clarity of its color and form, allowing viewers to experience the work much as contemporaries of the artist might have.
