The Square of Knowledge | Oslo, Norway

Oslo, Norway • 360° Photograph

Stand in the middle of maybe the smartest square in all of Oslo and look around.

Universitetsplassen is a beautifully patterned square right next to Karl Johans gate, the main street of the Norwegian capital. Three classical buildings surround it on three sides. Before I tell you what they are, take a look at the photograph and try to guess their purpose.

Could You Figure Out What Those Buildings Are?

If you guessed that those imposing classical facades hide something serious, you were right. All three buildings belong to the Faculty of Law at the University of Oslo, the oldest law faculty in Norway.

The largest building with the intimidating columns is Domus Media, the central building. To its right sits another faculty building, and on the other side stands Domus Bibliotheca, the law library.
