École de Chirurgie, Medical academy in Latin Quarter, Paris, France

The École de Chirurgie features a long colonnade facade without projecting parts and an anatomy theater that accommodates 1200 people.

Founded in 1731, this institution received royal recognition in 1750, marking the separation of surgery from barber practices in France.

The building incorporates Greek and Roman architectural elements, including Ionic columns and a Corinthian portico leading to the central amphitheater.

The facility contains multiple lecture halls, research laboratories, medical instrument collections, and a specialized health sciences library.

The central bas-relief, initially depicting Louis XV, was transformed during the French Revolution into an allegory of Charity.

Inception: December 18, 1731
