We experimentally studied the Faraday rotation of resonant light in an optically-thick cloud of laser-cooled rubidium atoms. Measurements yield a large Verdet constant in the range of 200 000 degrees/T/mm and a maximal polarization rotation of 150 degrees. A complete analysis of the polarization state of the transmitted light was necessary to account for the role of the probe laser's spectrum.
