The oldest university in Poland was founded by King Casimir the Great in 1364. After years of decline, King Wladyslaw Jagiello resumed its activities in 1400, and therefore the university is called Jagiellonian. Currently, about 50.000 students study at 16 faculties. The main buildings of the university are called colleges and are located in different parts of Krakow. Some are under 500 years old, others - about 100. The oldest - the College of Mayus. In addition, there is the Minus Collegium, the Novum Collegium, the Juridicum Collegium, and the Medicum Collegium. Other colleges bear the names of prominent Poles - Kollontai, Vitkovsky, Wrublewski.
The university library - one of the largest and oldest in Poland - has about 6 million items, a large collection of medieval manuscripts and old prints.
