Venue

The complex of University buildings extends over a whole block of the Old Town. The construction of the University buildings was carried on over the centuries under the changing influences of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical styles. The campus began to take shape in about 1570. Bounded by four streets, it is composed of 12 buildings, which are arranged around 12 courtyards of different shape and size. At present, the Rector’s Office, the Library, the Faculties of Philology, History, and Philosophy are situated in the old town.
