Very beautiful church, and Jesus is present in the tabernacle. However, we arrived while a film (20 mins) was being projected in the dome just above the tabernacle for heritage days. This is not the place. The pilgrims cannot pray and this is a great lack of respect for Jesus, because it is above all his house and not a place to promote industry and local initiatives.

Beautiful and well preserved Abbey and Church from the 12th century. Very good stonework factory with excellent acoustics. It consists of the main altar and two side chapels Its existence in the place is surprising. Nearby is a memorial to the soldiers of the 14th.

Extraordinary Church, on the other hand the video commentary is an infamous soup served by politicians in search of recognition. As usual… we would have simply liked a historical explanation.

Superb church, very well restored! However, the film broadcast on the vault of the heart while the place is sacred is scandalous, especially since it starts even though people are gathering and what's more, it's totally uninteresting... the first 5 minutes have nothing to do with it. no interest ! hearing about the municipal council, the mayor, the factory we don't care... In short, it could very well have been put on a screen in the background without imposing itself on everyone...

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.
