Bursa Jerozolimska w Krakowie, Medieval student residence in Gołębia Street, Kraków, Poland.
The dormitory featured a stone-brick structure with an inner courtyard surrounded by cloisters, housing a kitchen, common room, and library facilities.
Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki established the residence in 1453 as a substitute for his intended pilgrimage to Jerusalem, which he could not complete.
The dormitory served as an educational center where 100 students and a supervisor lived, contributing to the academic life of the University of Kraków.
The residence operated until 1841 when a fire destroyed the building, and its ruins were later demolished to make space for Collegium Novum.
The founding plaque remains preserved, with a copy displayed in Collegium Maius courtyard and the original stored in the University Museum.
