University Life - Visit to the Venerable English College
In the context of University Life activities, on November 30, 2023, a guided tour was organized to the Venerable English College, the oldest British institution outside the country. A group of students from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross participated in the visit (pictured). The palace, dating back to the late sixteenth century, is located at 45 Via di Monserrato, just a short walk from our Library.
This event also provided an opportunity to learn about the history of the 44 priest martyrs who studied at this College and were martyred in England and Wales between 1581 and 1678.
