University of Warsaw (Polish: Uniwersytet Warszawski) is the largest university in Poland.

The main campus of the University of Warsaw is located in downtown Warsaw, at Krakowskie Przedmieście street in the Old Town area. It consists of several historical palaces, mostly nationalized in 19th century. Among the most important buildings are:

* Kazimierzowski palace (Pałac Kazimierzowski) - the seat of the rector and the senate

* Old Library (Stary BUW) - currently after refurbishment a secondary lecture hall

* The Main School (Szkoła Główna) - the seat of the Main School until the January Uprising, later the faculty of biology; currently after refurbishment seat of the institute of archaeology

* Auditorium Maximum - the main lecture hall with seats for several hundred students.

There is also a New Library ( Nowy BUW ) - an impressive new building with spectacular roof gardens and several smaller campuses in other parts of the city, most notably the physical and chemical centre at Banacha street where also Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics department (MIM) is located.

Altogether the University of Warsaw owns 126 different buildings. Further developments and a vigorous refurbishment project of the main campus are underway.
