Comenius University Bratislava is the oldest and largest university in Slovak Republic.
It was founded in 1919, shortly after the creation of CzechoSlovakia.
It is named after Jan Amos Comenius.

For the centenary of its foundation, the university decided to publish a commemorative book.
I had the honour to take pictures of significant objects and places of 17 faculties.
