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.
