Inside the church known as the Church of the Jesuits (that is what it said at the entrance of the church), but that is actually called the Church of the Circumcision of Our Lord. It is also known as the Church of the University (and the Master and doctoral graduation ceremonies are held at this church).
As the name suggests, it was founded by the Jesuits in 1593. This is not really the original building, but one built in the Baroque style after a nearby explosion at a gunpowder factory severely damaged the building. That was in 1634, and work was carried out for much of the 17th century.
In 1768 the Jesuits were expelled from Malta and had to leave the church behind, and the Knights Hospitaller, who had control over Malta at the time, took over.

« Ammesso che l'onore di essere stata la sede della rivoluzione scientifica possa appartenere di diritto a un singolo luogo, tale onore dovrebbe essere riconosciuto a Padova »
(Sir Herbert Butterfield in Le origini della Scienza Moderna, 1962)
L'Università degli Studi di Padova è fra le più note università in Italia, e fra le più antiche al mondo, risalendo al 1222.
Il motto dell'Università è Universa Universis Patavina Libertas ("tutta intera, per tutti, la libertà nell'Università di Padova"), per sottolineare la grande libertà di pensiero, storicamente concessa dall'Università ai docenti e agli studenti. Di fatto, la Repubblica di Venezia vi garantì sempre una grande libertà religiosa, e l'Università di Padova fu l'unica in Italia, dopo la Controriforma, a restare aperta a studenti e docenti protestanti.

The University of Bucharest (officially Universitatea din Bucureşti) is a historic institution of high scientific and humanistic education in the Romanian capital.
In 1694 Constantin Brâncoveanu, ruler of Wallachia, founded the Academy of the Prince of Saint Sava in Bucharest with lessons held in Greek. In 1776, Alexander Ypsilantis (1725-1805), reformed the curriculum of the Academy of San Sava, where courses were given in French, Italian and Latin. In 1859, the Faculty of Jurisprudence was introduced. In 1857, Carol Davila commissioned the National School of Medicine and Pharmacy. In 1857, the first stone was laid for the construction of the university building.
It was in July 1864 that Prince Alessandro Giovanni Cuza instituted by decree the current university, which then gathered the Faculties of Law, Sciences and Letters, in a single institution.
In 1956, the many student leaders of Romania, especially from this university, organized a program of peaceful protests against the communist regime, but were repressed by the army.
After 1989 the area around the ancient University building (Piazza Università) was the main scene of clashes and protests of the Romanian revolution between the society and the security forces. During the months of April and June of 1990, the student community was at the center of anti-communist protests.
In 1996, Emil Constantinescu, the then rector of the University of Bucharest, was elected President of Romania, after having defeated Ion Iliescu in the presidential elections.

L'Università di Bucarest (ufficialmente Universitatea din București) è una storica istituzione d'alta formazione scientifica e umanistica della capitale romena.
Nel 1694 Constantin Brâncoveanu, sovrano di Valacchia, fondò l'Accademia del Principe di San Sava a Bucarest con lezioni tenute in greco. Nel 1776, Alexander Ypsilantis (1725–1805), riformò il curriculum della Accademia di San Sava, dove venivano impartiti corsi in francese, in italiano e in latino. Nel 1859, fu introdotta la Facoltà di Giurisprudenza. Nel 1857, Carol Davila fece realizzare la Scuola Nazionale di Medicina e Farmacia. Nel 1857, venne depositata la prima pietra per la costruzione del palazzo universitario.
Fu nel luglio del 1864 che il principe Alessandro Giovanni Cuza istituì per decreto l'attuale università, che riuniva allora le Facoltà di Giurisprudenza, Scienze e Lettere, in una sola istituzione.
Nel 1956, i molti leader studenteschi della Romania, soprattutto da questa università, organizzarono un programma di proteste pacifiche contro il regime comunista, ma furono represse dall'esercito.
Dopo il 1989 l'area intorno all'edificio antico dell'Università (piazza Università), fu il principale teatro di scontri e proteste della rivoluzione romena tra la società e le forze di sicurezza. Durante i mesi di aprile e giugno del 1990, la comunità studentesca fu al centro delle proteste anti-comuniste.
Nel 1996, Emil Constantinescu, l'allora rettore dell'Università di Bucarest, venne eletto Presidente della Romania, dopo aver sconfitto alle elezioni presidenziali Ion Iliescu.

Passed my old university after a long time. Got my degree here, and a lot of good memories too. A small and cozy university by the Arctic Circle.

"The original establishment of the University of Sarajevo dates back to the 16th century, as an Ottoman institute of higher education. It was called the Ottoman Madrasah of Sarajevo, a religious school teaching Islamic Law, i.e. Sharia Law and was recognized as a university in the confines of the Ottoman Empire, and the Islamic world. It co-existed at the time with several similar institutions (religious schools) held in Orthodox Christian and Catholic monasteries in Bosnia. In the Middle Ages, those were the only kind of educational institutions in Europe. Due to Bosnia's relative stagnation under much later Ottoman rule, the Ottoman Madrasah of Sarajevo lost this status in the late 19th century upon the country's annexation to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, effectively ceasing most education duties until 1949 when the modern University of Sarajevo was established."
