Description:
- The main building of the University of Copenhagen is situated at Frue Plads, close to Strøget in the heart of Copenhagen. The university was founded in 1479, located at that time on the corner of Nørregade and Studiestræde. After the Reformation, the University moved across the street into the Catholic Bishop's palace. The present main building was created by architect Peter Malling (1831-36). Outside you can see statues of the most well-known teachers of the University, and above the main entrance there is a picture of an eagle 'looking at the heavenly light'. It has the inscription 'Colelestem Adspicet Lucem'. Nearby. there are two other buildings that are part of the University, as well as Konsistoriegården, where the administration and the Vice-Chancellor still have their offices. Today, the University of Copenhagen is spread over most of the city. During the 1970s, the humanities faculty moved to Njalsgade on Amager, and at that time the medical students already had their faculty near Fælledparken on Østerbro.
