Universitas Istropolitana, Historic university building in Old Town, Slovakia.

The Renaissance structure at Venturska Street 3 features original stone elements and preserved architectural details from the 15th century medieval period.

Founded in 1465 by Pope Paul II at King Matthias Corvinus's request, Universitas Istropolitana operated as the Kingdom of Hungary's only university until 1491.

Notable educators at Universitas Istropolitana included mathematician Regiomontanus and astrologer Marcin Bylica, who contributed to scientific advancement in Central Europe.

The building houses the Academy of Performing Arts and stands as a national monument in Bratislava's historic center, accessible to visitors.

The name Istropolitana derives from Istropolis, meaning Danube City in ancient Greek, reflecting Bratislava's connection to the river.
