The city of Leuven is the cradle of modern healthcare. The creator of the first ever anatomical text book, Andreas Vesalius, resided here and introduced the concept of 'anatomical theatres' to the world. 

​

On three of Leuven's squares, you can dive in to Vesalius' history, see how his work influenced some of the world's most renowned painters, and even step into an exact replica of the anatomical theatre in Leuven, that is currently being restored to former glory.
