Charming, well kept. It would be nice if there were more events

Sin! It could be used better, in a state of disrepair. The employees? I don't know!

The castle, or rather a fortified residence, is nice and the reception staff is very kind. It is a small structure with watchtowers detached from the housing unit. If it had period furniture inside it would be more interesting. It's still worth a stop if you're nearby. Open only in the morning, except Wednesdays

Very nice, with a splendid view of the Milazzo peninsula and the Aeolian Islands. It lends itself to various events especially in the cultural field. It should be used more

Bauso Castle is a fortified building located in Villafranca Tirrena in the province of Messina. Exhibitions are hosted inside. The garden needs some maintenance.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
