The Brera Astronomical Observatory is an astronomical observatory in the Brera district of Milan, Italy. It is operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics and by the Institute of Applied General Physics of the University of Milan. It was built in the historic Palazzo Brera in 1764 by the Jesuit astronomer Roger Boscovich. After the Jesuits were suppressed in 1773 the palace and observatory passed to the Austrian Habsburg rulers of northern Italy, whose governor engaged its astronomers to build a meridian line inside Milan Cathedral.
