The Anatomical Theatre of the Archiginnasio is a historic lecture hall where anatomy lectures and displays were once held. Built in 1637, this unique theatre features wooden statues of famous physicians, including Hippocrates and Galenus, as well as the iconic "Spellati" statues by Ercole Lelli. The theatre was rebuilt after being destroyed during World War II, preserving its original pieces with meticulous care of the locals. It's a cool spot to check out if you're into medical history or just want to see some fascinating anatomical artifacts!
