Innsbruck - Old University

(Local Name: Alte Universität) In Innsbruck's Universitätsstrasse, which leads eastwards from the Hofkirche, stand the Old University (Alte Universität), founded in 1562 as a Jesuit college and rebuilt in 1673, and the University Library (rebuilt 1722). Between them, set back a little, is the Jesuit Church (Jesuitenkirche), a cruciform building on a central plan with a mighty 60m/200ft high dome (1627-40).
