Krakow

Professors Garden at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow.
The garden was first mentioned by university recordings already in 1467. At the time, the area was twice as large as today, stretching from the southwestern side of Collegium Maius to the city wall. Initially it was a garden and an orchard providing fresh fruit and vegetables for the professors' tables in the college's refectory. In 1475, a large poultry pen was built here. From 1510 the garden had latrines connected to the sewage system, used by students and scholars who lived in the Collegium.
