Collegium Maius, Cracow

The Collegium Maius in Cracow is one of the few medieval university buildings in Europe. It was built by Johann the Mason in 1492-97. The wings are grouped around a courtyard, the main features of which are an arcade placed forward of the wall to accommodate the upper-level walkway, over which looms a roof over-hang of the same width as the walkway.

The photo shows the inner court.
