Summary/Abstract: Among the educational destinations chosen by the citizens of the Polish-Lithuanian Common-wealth, Padua occupied a prominent position. This was primarily due to the city’s esteemed uni-versity, situated along the Bacchiglione canal. Serving as the principal intellectual hub of the Vene-tian Republic, the university had attracted distinguished scholars for centuries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was especially the university’s medical studies that became popular among those seeking to boast a comprehensive education, acquired under the tutelage of Europe’s finest minds. Aspiring medical practitioners and members of noble families alike flocked to the City of Antenor, as Padua was called, in pursuit of erudition and cosmopolitan refinement. This article aims to elucidate the multifaceted dimensions of these sojourns in Padua, which exerted direct or indirect influences on the transformations in the broadly understood health culture of the Polish-Lithua-nian territories.
