Carolinum
Carolinum (Karolinum). Founded by Emperor Charles IV on 7 April 1348, this is the oldest university north of the Alps. The chapel, walls and arcade are still from that date, together with a marvellously carved oriel window, but the courtyard was reconstructed after World War II. Today the Charles University has faculties all over Prague and the Carolinum only houses medical faculty offices, the University Club and is occasionally host to academic ceremonies.
Location: Ovocny trh 3, Prague 1
Open: closed to the public

Founded by Emperor Charles IV on 7 April 1348, it is the oldest university north of the Alps and still serving its original purpose. Unfortunatelly only little was preserved of the original building (a beautiful bay window, for example), but the courtyard was rebuilt in Gothic style after 1948.
