The inscription Plus ratio quam vis (Reason over force) lies on the wall of the Jagiellonian Ceremonial Room of Collegium Maius. The oldest seat of Kraków University was founded by the Jagiellons in 1400, but over the centuries was remodelled several times. A small, quiet courtyard surrounded with 15th century arcades, is one of Kraków’s most magical sites. Its arcaded passages, the Jagiellonian University Museum with its interesting library collection, the oldest Rector’s insignia, astronomical instruments and a unique collection of ancient globes, are certainly worth a visit.
