"Hall Of Giants"

Although it's name may suggest otherwise, Sala dei Giganti, that literally translates to 'Hall of Giants', is a truly beautiful place.

Sala dei Giganti was used as the University library for some time, however now, it remains open to the general populations on Saturdays. Guided tours are available.
