Another courtyard shot....

Another window shot, taken in the opposite direction out onto the street.

This is another shot out into the courtyard for further back in the room. I took this during UJOP graduation.

I'm not clear on whether this statue is of Jan Hus, or somebody else. Does anybody know?

The Karolinium is the oldest complex of buildings in the possession of Universita Karlova (Charles University). I've been unable to get a date of construction, but one website says that one window dates to 1370, and the complex was at least conceived in the late 1360's, after Charles College required dedicated facilities. During its long history, the Karolinium has hosted most of the universities more famous professors and students, including Jan Hus. Today the Karolinium hosts many activities, including graduations.

Here's a random shot out one of the windows in the Karolinium. Yes, they even put modern blinds in the place.
