The Archiginnasio is a beautiful and very interesting building. The fried tortellini were very curious and very delicious and so was the ice cream.

Why visit the Archiginnasio of Bologna?

With this ticket to the Palace of the Archiginnasio, you'll learn about the history of one of the most emblematic buildings of Bologna. A must-see in the capital of the Emilia Romagna region!

Built in the 16th century by order of Cardinal Charles Borromeo, the Archiginnasio was the seat of the University of Bologna. For this reason, as soon as you enter the courtyard you'll be struck by the large number of coats of arms painted on its walls, corresponding to the surnames of many of the students who passed through its classrooms. There are more than 7,000 of them!

Thanks to your English audioguide, you'll learn all kinds of curiosities about the building while visiting its cloister and its two most famous rooms: the Anatomical Theater and the Stabat Mater room.

In the Anatomical Theater, you'll see a historic classroom full of wooden sculptures where medicine was studied. Did you know that one of the pioneers of plastic surgery taught here? You'll learn more about this person's life when you come across the statue of Bolognese Gaspare Tagliacozzi.

From a small passageway in the Sala dello Stabat Mater, you'll also be able to see the Archiginnasio Municipal Library, which houses more than 35,000 copies of ancient books.

Tasting at the Quadrilatero Market

This Archiginnasio ticket also includes 2 tasting vouchers to be used at the Quadrilateral Market, one of the most famous markets in Bologna, where you can taste the best of the local gastronomy. Before entering we will give you the two vouchers, which will be valid at any time of the day or for the following six days.
