Beautiful church and had 2 extremely nice people try to help me find if my grandmother stayed there in 1900 in the convent.

Nice facade. Inside, not easy to find, is the tomb of Queen Adelasia

To get there you climb several stone stairs from the center to the cathedral, but once you reach the top you enter a large square overlooking the mountains and the sea, with a view of the Aeolian islands. The show leaves you breathless, wonderful. Unfortunately the church was closed but the exterior is truly impressive. Absolutely worth visiting

The Swabian-Federician facade is beautiful with lava decoration which, together with the white marble inserts of the frames and the lattice, create a particular chromatic effect.

Due to the destruction caused by earthquakes and the renovations, the cathedral appears rather sparse. Without a doubt its historical value is of the first order, but very little remains of the Norman splendor. Its maintenance is also disappointing

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.
