Palazzo dell'Università, Palace in Genoa, Italy
The Palazzo dell'Università features marble lions flanking the grand staircase and multiple levels connected by intricate ramps within its baroque architecture.
Built in the 1630s as a Jesuit College under architect Bartolomeo Bianco's direction, the palace transformed into the University of Genoa in 1775.
The main auditorium contains ceiling decorations by Giovanni Andrea Carlone, executed between 1683 and 1684, showcasing religious and educational themes.
Located on Via Balbi 5, the palace remains an active university building with select areas open for guided tours during specific hours.
The Aula della Meridiana houses a preserved marble and brass sundial created in 1771 by Father Correard, marking time through natural light.
