Collegium Maius

Ulica Jagiellonska, 17, Old Town, Krakow, Poland

 

The outside of this building is not overly impressive, so it would be easy to pass it by. However, once through the low, arched doorway entrance, you will enter what feels like a secret world. The inner courtyard is a Gothic wonder. Built in the 1300's and still used by the university, there is a small museum to visit as well as a gift shop. Famous former alumni (and there are many) include Nicolas Copernicus. The wonderful motto engraved in stone reads Plus Ratio Quam Vis meaning 'Through reason, not force'.
