Palazzo di Archiginnasio

The most interesting (and creepiest) building in the Univiversity

While most of Università di Bologna is now housed up Via Zamboni, the most interesting bit to visit is in one of its oldest buildings just south of Piazza Maggiore: the Teatro Anatomico inside the baroque Palazzo di Archiginnasio In this quite theatrical anatomical theater, ancient wooden benches surround a marble slab used for the continent's first (legal) gross anatomy classes, and carved skinless human pillars support the lectern.
