Aula Leopoldina

University of Wroclaw

 

The Aula Leopoldina was built between 1728 and 1732 in honor of the founder of the University of Wrocław, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I of the Habsburg dynasty. The client was his son Emperor Charles VI, who, like his father, was King of Bohemia and thus Silesian sovereign. It is Poland's largest and one of the largest Baroque halls in Europe.
