One of the oldest faculties of medicine in the Western world, located in Montpellier

The Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier is one of the oldest in the Western world. The building that houses it today was built in 1364 at the request of Pope Urban V to accommodate the Saint-Benoît-et-Saint-Germain monastery. At the time, it was part of the same complex as Saint Peter's Cathedral. It was not until 1795 that the faculty made it its residence, but before that, as early as the twelfth century, informal teachings were conducted there. In 1289, Pope Nicholas IV granted the title of university to all the teachers and students.

Es un bello edificio unido a la catedral, no se si es parte o lo fue en su pasado pero visitarlo es como aun agregado al visitar la catedral misma, su entrada la domina dos esculturas que representan a François Gigot de La Peyronie y Paul Joseph Barthez. Existe desde el siglo XI, la hace ser la Facultad de Medicina más antigua del mundo después de que la de Salerno despareciera en el siglo XIX. Dentro hay un museo que no es recomendable para personas muy sensibles además de un anfiteatro circular que impresiona al estar en el.
