Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts a revision of current historiographic opinion on the localisation and the time of undertaking work on the first permanent premises of the University of Kazimierz the Great. The author outlines the university area in the town of Kazimierz, marked by the streets Tkacka (today Józefa), Wąska, Świętego Wawrzyńca and the city walls (now roughly equivalent to Dajwór Street). The decision was probably inspired by the foundation of Collegium Carolinum in Prague in 1366. The investment in Cracow was related to the attempted changing of the organisational model of the university (from hospitial to collegial) and the model of funding, based – as in Prague – on church benefices. The undertaking was interrupted by the death of King Kazimierz (1370).
