Carolinum (Karolinum). Founded by Emperor Charles IV on 7 April 1348, this is the oldest university north of the Alps. The chapel, walls and arcade are still from that date, together with a marvellously carved oriel window, but the courtyard was reconstructed after World War II. Today the Charles University has faculties all over Prague and the Carolinum only houses medical faculty offices, the University Club and occasionally hosts to academic ceremonies.
