VisitUniPD is a free app that guides you to discover some of the treasures of Palazzo del Bo, the historical seat of the University of Padua.

The University of Padua is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutes of higher education in Europe (1222). From its early beginnings, the university has always stood for academic freedom, exceptional cultural liveliness, and extraordinary international reach.

Palazzo del Bo has hosted numerous illustrious figures that have left indelible marks on the evolution of humanity, including Copernicus, Vesalius, Galilei, and Harvey. The first permanent anatomical theatre was built here in 1594. The world's first woman to receive a PhD graduated here in 1678 and, over the centuries, the Palazzo del Bo has continued to host exceptional important events.
