The Abbey of St. John the Baptist (sometimes referred to as simply "the Abbey") is the original home to the {{wp|Order of Friars Minor}} in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and serves as the administrative headquarters of the entire Collegium system. Although described as a campus, the Abbey is closer to a government complex, with only a small number of classes held within its facilities. | |||

St. John's University is the largest Collegium Scientificum campus and is a direct offshoot of the Abbey Campus. It is located a half mile from the Abbey and is considered, along with the Abbey, the "original institution" - classes and academic activities which were originally held at the Abbey were gradually shifted to the University grounds in the early modern period. | |||
