Castles, palaces and mansions

Palazzo del Bo

The original structure of the building dates back to the Middle Ages, its name comes from the old inn “Albergo del Bove”, which at the time, was positioned in the place where today's structure stands. Since 1493, the building passed to the University of Padua, which is still located in the interiors of the old building. The plant is the result of the union of several buildings in the area, and has very nice decorative elements. Of great interest, are the 3000 coats of arms of the students who left as a memory at the university.
