University of Milan, Public research university in Milan, Italy
The University of Milan is a public research institution with locations in the city center and the Città Studi neighborhood, organized into ten faculties. Buildings spread across several historical complexes and modern facilities with libraries, laboratories, and lecture halls.
The institution was founded in 1924 by bringing together scientific and clinical schools that had operated separately before. Within a few years it grew into one of the largest universities in the country.
The main courtyard at Ca' Granda reflects Renaissance proportions and serves as a regular crossing point for students between lecture halls. Stone arcades frame the open space where people pause between classes throughout the academic day.
Most facilities lie within walking distance of each other and connect well by public transport. Buildings are open to visitors during daytime teaching hours.
The oldest botanical garden in the city sits within a university building courtyard and contains collections with plants centuries old. Visitors can tour the grounds on select days and enjoy the quiet atmosphere between teaching sessions.
