It boasts a history as rich and layered as the ancient stones upon which it stands. Founded not once, but twice, its roots stretch back to the 17th century. In 1647, it opened its doors as the Academia Ottoniana, a beacon of Jesuit learning. After a brief closure, it was reborn in 1773 as the Universitas Ottoniana Fridericiana.
