University of Catania, Sicily - Part 1



 A dream come true for me - architecture and books ------->































  

 
The University of Catania was built in 1434.  It is the oldest university in Sicily, the 13th oldest in Italy and the 29th oldest in the world.

I took an interesting tour of the university seeing some of the original building, a monastery, still partially in tact from the earthquake in 1693.
