Muy guapa, buen románico. Habría que conservarla mejor.

Beautiful Romanesque monument, which is worth visiting, it is precious and its stones count, what has been lived for many centuries, I hope it was more pampered and cared for.

Pre-Romanesque church in a small village, it is very beautiful but in very bad condition, the roof needs to be repaired and the stone cleaned, or it will end up like the house next door
Miguel Martínez Trullén (4 years ago)
Yet another of those charming examples of Asturian Romanesque architecture that unite the wonder of its enclave, a secluded valley very close to San Salvador de Valdediós, with the trace of architectural harmony that reaches the bottom of the spirit.

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.
