Velká aula Karolina, Assembly hall in Old Town, Czech Republic
The Great Hall features a Gothic bay window with a university chapel, containing an altar with a Gothic painting of the Virgin Mary.
Charles College moved into this Gothic building in 1386 after receiving the property from King Václav IV, establishing the foundation of Karolinum.
The front wall displays a tapestry showing Charles IV presenting the university's founding charter to Saint Wenceslas, created by M. Teinitzerová in 1948.
The ceremonial hall accommodates 405 seated guests and 30 standing visitors, hosting graduations, professor appointments, and academic conferences.
Baroque organs transferred from a dissolved Jesuit college in Chomutov enhance the hall's acoustics since the mid-20th century reconstruction.
