Incredible location, surrounded by the calm waters of the marshes, we heard the afternoon mass in a small church but presided over by an excellent altarpiece with the image of the "Divina Pastora". An extraordinary place

Monastery or convent on the shores of the Santoña marshes, where the Capuchin fathers currently reside, declared a national monument in 1981, it hides the remains of Doña Begoña Blomberg, mother of Don Juan of Austria and lover of Emperor Charles V

We tried to visit it inside but it was not possible, there was no indication and almost everything was closed. The environment and the forest that surrounds it is beautiful.

The location is beautiful but the monastery, or the church part at least, gave me quite a bad feeling. Without a doubt, it's great for taking photos of the entire surroundings, but not that it's the monastery, it seemed of little interest to me.

It is worth making a stop to visit it. The path to get there is a little narrow, it is not very long so it is not easy to meet another one in front of you, but… There is a small parking lot. When we went it was closed, so we saw it from the outside, and we went down to the marshes through the stairs in front. You have to go down carefully as the stairs are a little slippery. The views are beautiful and there is a short walk.

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.
