…a glimpse of the historic center among porticoes, arches, one of the squares, shops, and the open-air market…the day is gray, but the atmosphere is still enchanting…

View looking northeast. Old Dental (1895-1975) visible just south of Old Capitol. Old Science Hall (Calvin Hall) is north of Old Dental, across Jefferson Street. University Hall (Jessup Hall), opened in 1924, is barely visible on left.

…the pedestrian street that bisects the entire historic center, passing through squares, centuries-old buildings, the town hall, the university, the Pedrocchi café, and Padua's entire luxury shopping district… and then the branches of the river with their stone bridges. Every square meter of this street could tell an equally long story…

…under the vaulted porticoes decorated with frescoes of this 19th-century palace, the day continues under a sun more summer than spring,…among elegant architecture and views that tell the story of Padua. The building overlooks three squares in the historic center: Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza della Frutta, and Piazza dei Signori…originally a prison, this building now hosts luxury shops and apartments…
