Walk into Collegium Maius, the medieval heart of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow's Old Town. Stroll the arcaded courtyard, then climb to the museum's historic rooms to see paintings and objects from the university's past.

Collegium Maius is one of the oldest university buildings in Central Europe, centred on an arcaded Gothic courtyard with cloisters.
