Palazzo dell'Università, Palace in Castello district of Cagliari, Italy
The Palazzo dell'Università extends across three floors with symmetrical windows and two grand portals adorned with distinctive architectural elements and pilasters.
The palace, designed by military engineer Saverio Belgrano di Famolasco, was constructed between 1761 and 1769 during Carlo Emanuele III's university reform program.
Four bronze statues representing Philosophy, Jurisprudence, Medicine, and Science stand in the rectorate atrium, symbolizing the main academic disciplines.
The building houses the university rectorate offices, assembly hall for official ceremonies, and a substantial library established in 1765.
The main hall features two large paintings by Filippo Figari and displays the University of Cagliari's official gonfalon alongside a relief of Carlo Emanuele III.
