Farmacia Tre Colombine
1 more image

The building of the Antica Farmacia alle Tre Colombine ("Ancient Chemist's shop at the Three Little Doves") is located close to the Accademia dei Concordi. Although it is not a tourist attraction, it is interesting for being the most ancient chemist's shop in Rovigo. It has a beautiful decoration with three doves on the top.
The chemist's shop has now moved away and the building has become the new seat of the Tourist Office.

Palazzo Camerini-Rusconi, built in the 19th century, is one of the several palaces you can see in via Celio. The sculptures on its façade represent several work activities of the past. You can see them in this travelogue.

Chiesa del Seminario Vecchio

Also known as Chiesa del Seminario Vecchio, this church dates of the 16th century. It belonged to a monastery which was destroyed in 1772 to be replaced by the seminary. The church has a simple, harmonic style. It lies near the Porta Sant'Agostino (see the Things to do section).

Seminario Vecchio

The palace formerly used as a seminary was built from 1779 to 1794. Today, it houses the Archivio di Stato ("Record Office").
The façade of the building is very plain and the only interesting architectural feature is this window with tympanum and balustrade. Inside there is a beautiful cloister.

 It was just occasional visit, (coffe break), on my way from Treviso to Bologna but I'll surely revisit this small town, the home of our member MIKEBOND who is my dear friend.
