Jagiellonian University Collegium Novum

The Collegium Novum is the main building of Jagiellonian University, a neo-Gothic structure from the late 19th century in Krakow's Old Town. Visitors describe an old but handsome interior, with coats of arms drawing particular attention, and the building hosts the university's opening-of-year inauguration as well as events and performances.

It offers a different side of the city from its churches and market square, one rooted in academic tradition. A visit takes around 45 minutes, and a small entry fee applies for some areas.

The courtyard and halls suit anyone interested in architecture and university history.
