Église de Santa Maria dei Bulgari, Renaissance chapel in University of Bologna, Italy
The Santa Maria dei Bulgari chapel occupies a section within the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio, featuring architectural elements from the High Renaissance period.
Antonio Morandi designed this chapel during the 16th century as part of the University of Bologna, which started operations in the Archiginnasio building in 1563.
The chapel walls display numerous coats of arms representing international students who attended the University of Bologna through centuries of academic excellence.
Visitors can access the chapel through the Archiginnasio Municipal Library, which contains 850,000 volumes and maintains regular opening hours for public viewing.
The building surrounding the chapel sustained damage during World War II bombing raids, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts to maintain its original design.
