Collegium Maius, Gothic university building in Old Town, Kraków, Poland.
The Collegium Maius features a quadrangular courtyard enclosed by covered arcades, constructed with brick and stone materials throughout its structure.
The building was established in 1400 when King Władysław Jagiełło purchased a corner tenement house using funds from Queen Jadwiga's testament.
The Jagiellonian University Museum within Collegium Maius displays medieval scientific instruments, historical lecture rooms, and the Jagiellonian globe from different periods.
Visitors can access guided tours from Monday to Friday between 10 AM and 1 PM, with self-guided options available until 5 PM.
The courtyard clock performs every two hours with wooden figures representing Polish kings and professors moving to musical accompaniment.
