Main building of the Warsaw University of Technology, University building in Warsaw, Poland.

The main building features three interior courtyards, including a central space covered by a glass roof and decorated facades with academic motifs and sculptures.

Construction of the building began in 1899 through public fundraising, and it opened in 1902 as part of the Nicolas II Polytechnic Institute.

The structure represents late historicism architecture with rusticated lower walls, monumental entrances, and ornamental designs symbolizing different academic disciplines.

During World War II, the building housed underground education programs where 3,000 students continued their studies despite German occupation restrictions.
