The founder donated estates and land to his university to “feed the house” in which students and professors lived. That's where they spent scientific meetings and various celebrations. Such houses were called “koley” - from the Latin “collegium”, that is, a hostel. The center of Charles University was the Charles Wheel, housed in the magnificent house of the court coin master Jan Rotlev, who donated the house in the center of the capital for the benefit of education.

Over the course of several centuries, Charles University quickly spread throughout Prague. Now you can see its buildings in different parts of the central old part of the Czech capital; they, of course, serve as decoration of the quarter. Pay attention to the pompous building of the Faculty of Law, look into the library - one of the oldest buildings in the area, the Leninskaya halls were not nearby.

Prague, thanks to its university, quickly gained authority in Europe. At Charles University they taught philosophy, law, medicine, and theology. At university departments in different time taught by the best minds of the Czech Republic: priest and theologian, ideologist of the Czech Reformation Jan Hus (from 1409, rector of Charles University), physician Jan Yesseny, physiologist Jan Evangelist Purkynė, professor of philosophy, first Czechoslovak president Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, Nobel laureate, chemist Yaroslav Heyrovsky and others. Writers Karel Capek and Franz Kafka studied here at one time. However, even now Prague invites the best teachers from all over the world to teach at its university.

Today, Charles University is the largest university in the Czech Republic, with about 37,000 students from 48 countries studying in its 17 faculties. Moreover, among them there are quite a lot of Americans, British, Germans, Austrians and representatives of other countries that are far from “third world”.
