Castle somewhat deteriorated but they are restoring it. It is worth going up and imagining it. Also see the piece of views from there.

Now he was in rehabilitation very well, it seems to me that they will leave him luxurious. I took a look anyway and it's a great, well-preserved castle. I'm happy for the town. Visitable castle 100% when they finish the rehabilitation. Downstairs there is a fountain, a children's playground and a shop/bar, I think or headquarters, I don't know, not between. But the town is very cute and careful.

Castillo de Lanos, better known as Castillo de Ocio for being on a cliff overlooking the council of the same name (Province of Álava, Spain), a medieval fortress belonging to the border line of the old Kingdom of Navarre with Castile, located in a narrow hollow in the valley of the Inglares river. It really performed its function as a component of a group of nearby castles, like its neighbor Portilla. If you want to know more on my YouTube channel Castiaventuras I have the video

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.
