The University of Padua is one of the oldest in the world (the second in Italy after Bologna). Palazzo Bo became the seat of the University since the end of the fifteenth century.
Of great architectural interest is the Old Courtyard (half of ‘500) by Andrea Moroni, and the historical excellence are the Sala dei Quaranta, where they keep the chair of Galileo who taught in Padua from 1592 to 1610, the Aula Magna, rich of badges and decorations and the famous anatomical theater of G.F. d’Acquapendente, the oldest stable anatomical theater in the world (1594).
