The historical seat of Padua University Palazzo Bo keeps an extraordinary architectural, historical and cultural heritage.
The complex we see today is the result of the restoration of a series of buildings which gathered together ancient medieval towers and renaissance palaces. The old courtyard with a double doric and ionic order of arcades is by Andrea Moroni (mid 16th century), the Anatomy Theatre, was built in 1594 by the famous professor of Anatomy Gerolamo Fabrici d´Acquapendente, the Sala dei Quaranta is decorated by the portraits of 40 famous personages who studied at the University and keeps Galileo´s original chair, the 18th-century Aula Magna was renovated from 1854-56 and in 1942 (by the architect Giò Ponti).
