TS No. 2212 is devoted to the historic seat of the Charles University, medieval architectonic complex called Karolinum, which is located in Ovocný trh (Fruit Market) in Old Town of Prague.
The Charles University in Prague was founded by Charles IV. on 7 th April 1348, which makes it the oldest university north of the Alps. The Carolinum complex at the Ovocny trh in Old Town has been its centre since the middle ages. he university didn´t have a central building in the beginning. The lectures took place in churches or monasteries and students lived in their professors´ homes. Several colleges were built for the Charles University later. The Charles College, Carolinum, was founded in 1366 and it moved to the Gothic house of the royal coin maker Jan Rotlev in 1386. A chapel was built there and also a big hall for ceremonial assemblies – aula magna. All the other colleges were abolished in 1611 and Carolinum became the central building of the Charles University.
Carolinum was rebuilt in Baroque style by F.M. Kanka in 1718. There is an early-Baroque window from 1687 above the portal in Zelezna Street. It has an inscription saying LEX CIVIUM DUX (The law rules the citizens). The original Gothic Rotlev´s house is reminded by a Gothic oriel window from around 1370.
