The University of Zagreb (Croatian Sveučilište u Zagrebu) is the oldest Croatian university in continuous operation and also the oldest university in southeastern Europe.
The university was officially founded September 23 1669 by Emperor and King Leopold I of Habsburg who issued a decree granting the status and privileges of a university to the Jesuit Academy. The Academy in Zagreb remained until 1874, despite numerous organizational changes, the focal institution of higher education in Croatia, educating most of the members of the Croatian intelligentsia.
On October 19 1874 a ceremony was held in the name of the founding of the modern University of Zagreb with four faculties:
- Faculty of Medicine
