Part 4/7:
After lunch, a visit to the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world founded over a millennium ago, provided insight into the city's rich academic heritage. The breathtaking Palazzo dell’Archiginnasio dazzled with its artistic architecture, and the theatrical Anatomical Theater offered a glimpse into the scientific past.
Winding through the city, the explorers stumbled upon Piazza Santo Stefano, adorned with charming cafés and the Basilica of Santo Stefano—a unique complex of four interlocking churches. The atmosphere was inviting, and though some cafés attempted to draw in tourists, our travelers preferred the authentic local experience.
