The edifice of the former University Clinic testifies both to the bold vision of the Jagiellonian University and to the high level of the Polish pre-war medicine. It is situated in the soothing vicinity of the Universiy’s Botanical Garden, next to other clinics. The Clinic provided full comfort for the patients, newborn infants, doctors, nurses and students. In its time it was one of the most modern buildings of that type in Europe. It consists of five wings with a courtyard and is equipped with a lecture hall (amphitheatre), recreation halls, loggias etc. The interior design is truly impressive from the point of view of hygiene and mental health (carefully designed, colourful glazed tiles, stained glasses, proportions of spaces).
