A thousand years of history and 250 years of astronomy at the Specola: born as medieval tower, in 1767 it was transformed in Astronomical Observatory. The Observatory is one of the main structures of INAF - National Institute for Astrophysics now, and in its museum you can see rooms and instruments used by the past-centuries astronomers

"The square is a normal one, perhaps above average considering the history but in my opinion " Prato della valle" is better. The thing that makes this place one of the most beautiful location I have ever seen is the, functioning, astronomic clock tower that watches over the square. The tower is a per..."fect reconstruction of the original that perished under the fire. The investigative eye will find that among the signs of the Zodiac the sign of Libra is missing. This is due to the fact that the astronomy of the clock is based on the pre-Roman zodiac system where the constellations of Scorpio and Libra were merged into one.

"As my wife says, i'm a little different than most. With that being said I majored in art history and had to write a paper on the restoration project at Scrovegni Chapel, so I am very partial on my feelings to Giotto and the Chapel...my opinion is see this before the sistine chapel, both are master..."pieces, but this was the predecessor as many of the artists that followed used giotto's style, but improved on it...could go on, but. price was $12 and tours wait in a small enclosed room for approx. 20 minutes to detoxify/clean the air.

"outside was under scaffolding as most places in Italy, but inside the tomb of S.Anthony was one of the biggest and most impressive tombs we have seen. It was a beautiful cathedral, but sorry i really only remember the tomb."
