Karolinum

Karolinum is unique monument and one of the oldest dormitories situated in Central Europe.
It has been a part of Charles University since 1383, when Wenceslas IV, the son of the university’s founder, secured one of the most imposing palaces in the Old Town for use as a dormitory.
The central interior space, the Aula Magna, is used for commencement ceremonies and other official gatherings. The Karolinum Cloisters are used for exhibitions of contemporary art.
