      To think some of us may be alive to watch university of bologna celebrate its 1000th year of existence

      Enver Hoxha founded Albania’s first university. He sucked, but Albania was medieval before him

      >The oldest continuously operating universities

      „*not in continuous operation“

      Interesting fact about Helsinki university: it was originally founded in Turku, another city, and it later on moved to Helsinki. This is because Helsinki didn’t really even exist when it was enstablished. So, the university is older than the city it is located in and named after.

      Belgium has Leuven though, it was established in 1425. It’s literally 400 years older than the country Belgium.

      Your source is Wikipedia?!

      I like Wikipedia, but it ain’t a source, it is a starting point.

      If the Sorbonne is counted for France even after being split then KUL/UCL should be counted for Belgium (1425)

      Why is St Andrews in Scotland not there. When it was founded in 1413 Scotland was not part of the United Kingdom so it should be represented on the map.

      Shouldn’t the oldest university of Russia be Kaliningrads university? Accoridng to Wikipedia the university of Königsberg does technically not exist anymore, but Kaliningrads university is the defacto successor

      I expected Greece to have some older universities but I guess they weren’t continuously operated?

      In Poland, things get interesting when you ask, „Which is the *second* oldest Polish university?“. Well….

      1. A university founded by a Polish monarch: Vilnius University, founded by the king Stephen Bathory in 1579 in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
      2. A university founded under Polish jurisdiction: University of Lviv, founded by the king John II Casimir in 1661 in Lviv, then part of the Kingdom of Poland, now in Ukraine.
      3. A university currently under Polish jurisdiction: University of Wrocław, founded by the Emperor Leopold I of the House of Austria in 1702.

      Croatia could’ve had an even older one, the University of Zadar which was founded in 1396, but it ceased being an independent institution in the 19th century and only got its independence back in 2002.

      The original church where theology was taught in 1396 still stands today.

      Incorrect date for Oxford. Foundation date isn’t settled but it is most certainly before 1167.

      This map is wrong:

      KU Leuven (Latin: Studium Generale Lovaniense) of Belgium was founded in 1425 by Pope Martin V and the Duke of Brabant, it was forcibly closed due to the French Revolution and annexation, and later reopened in 1834, it is one of the oldest universities in Europe.

      India had universities even before the birth of Alexander but they were destroyed by invaders 

      Nalanda library burnt for months due to sheer volume of books in it
