Karolinum
Karolinum (formerly Latin: ''Collegium Carolinum'', in Czech ''Karlova kolej'') is a complex of buildings located in the Old Town of the City of Prague. Karolinum, the seat of the Charles University, is one of the oldest dormitories situated in Central Europe. The dormitory was named after the Emperor Charles IV.
