18th century engraving of Riddartorget in Uppsala, with the later demolished Academia Carolina (the old chapter house) to the left (by the Cathedral which is just outside the picture). To the right is the Oxenstierna Palace, the former residence of w:Bengt Gabrielsson Oxenstierna. The latter was then used for the "Royal Academy [=University] Hospital" ("Kgl Academi Sjukhus"), and is now the main building for the Faculty of Law. In the middle one can see a part of the Skytteanum, where the Professor Skytteanus has his residence and office and parts of the Department of Government are still located.
