🇮🇹 Padua University: Where History Comes Alive! 🎓✨

Our final stop in Padua was the legendary University of Padua (founded in *1222*!). Got a sweet €6 senior discount ticket (regular price unknown 😅). 🗝️ The Adventure Begins... ⏰ Had 30 mins before our 1:30pm English tour → dashed to Palazzo della Ragione for its famed frescoed ceilings. 🚧 Plot twist: Got lost trying to find the entrance! (Hint: It’s NOT the 2nd-floor offices—several confused tourists agreed! 😂) 🎨 Settled for admiring the outdoor arcade frescoes—stunning nonetheless! 🏛️ Tour Highlights (Chills Guaranteed!): 🔑 The Key Master: Our guide arrived with a clinking keychain and tales of: Ancient roots (yes, *2nd-century* vibes!) Galileo’s lectures right here! 🔭 👻 Anatomy Theater: *200+ students* crammed into pitch-black tiers (no light!) Cadavers displayed at the center... now YOU stand where they once lay 😱 Bonus: Spotted professor-donated skulls in the graduation hall! 💀 💭 Final Thoughts: 🤯 "Now I get why that Beijing teacher stayed 2 days!" ⏳ Wish we had more time—but no regrets. Saw the essence of Padua’s genius! #PaduaSecrets #ItalianHistory #DarkTourism #GalileoWasHere #TravelBlundersTurnedMemories 🔑
