22/27.- Padua, university

The university of Padua was founded in 1222. There is not much left of the original buildings, but there are some interesting things to visit: the "Torre dei Papafava", the "Palazzo Capodivaca" and the "Anatomic Theater", the first Anatomy Study classroom (in 1594). In the "Sala dei Quaranta" you can visit Galileo’s old chair.
