The Oldest University Still Running

The University of Bologna dates its founding to 1088, which makes it the oldest continuously operating university in the world. The word universitas was first used here for the student guilds who hired and fired their own professors.

The clock: Bologna keeps UTC+1. Its two leaning towers have stood since the 12th century; the shorter one, Garisenda, leans about four degrees — more than Pisa's.
