ACADEMIEGEBOUW

It is the main building of the university. The university was founded in the 17th century and is the oldest in the country after Leiden. The current building dates from 1909, and is a perfect example of the neo-Renaissance style. Note the three statues: Scientia, Minerva and Historia. At the top left is Prudentia and at the top right is Mathematica. In front of this building is the university library where you can enter, but not borrow books. More than 2 million books are on deposit under your feet and can be consulted on demand.
