COLLEGIUM MAIUS

Collegium Maius, located on the corner of  Św. Anny and Jagiellońska Street, is the oldest university building in Poland.

“Arcaded Courtyard surrounded by galleries with the diamond vaults typical for the Late Gothic style. The uniform arcades were interspersed by the “Professor” staircase leading to the first floor balcony. The ground floor housed lectoria, or lecture rooms. The library (libraria), the Common Room (Stuba Communis), the treasury and the theologians lecture room (the present-day Aula – assembly hall) were situated on the first floors. The dwellings of professors, or residences, were located on the first and second floors. ”  – by UJ website
