Collegium Broscianum, Heritage building at Grodzka Street, Kraków, Poland.
Collegium Broscianum is an educational building on Grodzka Street in Krakow featuring characteristic facade elements from the 17th century. Rectangular windows arranged in regular patterns and detailed architectural ornaments define its outward appearance.
The building was founded by the Society of Jesus and served under its control until 1773. Following the dissolution of the order, the National Education Commission took over the property and redirected its purpose.
The building sits on one of Krakow's oldest streets and reflects the city's long tradition as a center for learning and thought. The spaces continue to serve academic purposes, maintaining a connection between past and present educational life.
The building houses different university departments and is accessible to visitors interested in exploring the campus and its historical locations. It is advisable to check access conditions in advance, as visiting times may depend on university schedules.
After a fire in 1719, the building underwent major reconstruction that led to the uniform window divisions visible today. This rebuilding fundamentally changed its exterior appearance and continues to define how it looks.
