we passed by by chance and decided to stop and visit it. Church of San Nicola di Trullas (12th-13th century), very beautiful and well preserved. Site easy to access via a small gate and parking a few steps away. The garden is well cared for and all around the church you can see the foundations of old structures and a well covered by a grate (I recommend being very careful) and it wouldn't be bad to find a sign that could tell visitors the history of this building I would have liked to be able to visit it inside but unfortunately everything was closed.

A little gem without ifs or buts. Even though I found it closed, due to its condition and its location (also very easy to reach) it is worth a visit or a detour if you are passing by on the 131.

Beautiful 12th-century Romanesque church. Truly something rare in Sardinia. I think it is little valued by the Municipality.

Awesome church on the outside, but on the inside it is not known (although the panel says it's got some beautiful frescoes). There are no opening hours on the site, so there is no way to know whether (and when) it can be enjoyed by the public.

Ancient Romanesque church from the 11th century. Unfortunately it was closed so it was not possible to visit the inside. In the adjoining courtyard you can see the remains of square / rectangular structures, certainly annexed houses or huts, and a very deep well covered by a metal grid. Reaching it is very simple and you can easily reach the end of the path by car.

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.
