Building of Faculty of Law, Charles University, University building in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The Faculty of Law building features high windows, with Hall 100 - Collegium Maximum accommodating 560 people, retaining its original wooden benches and mosaics.

Construction of the building occurred between 1924 and 1931, following designs by Jan Kotěra and completed by Ladislav Machoň after Kotěra's death.

The building represents a combination of modernist and cubist architecture, serving as a center for legal education in the Czech Republic since its completion.

The faculty currently hosts over 4500 students, making it the largest accredited law school in the Czech Republic with programs in Czech and English.

The central atrium, known as the pool, contains a glass ceiling with surrounding galleries providing access to classrooms and a functioning paternoster elevator.
