Inside Private homes. You can peek here and there
Mauro Morini (5 years ago)
Beautiful but left to decay
Loredana Sproniero (6 years ago)
What the hell have you seen? A ruin abandoned for years where there is nothing and you cannot even enter.
Luigi Greco (Salento Messapico) (6 years ago)
Beautiful sixteenth-century manor house, the only one in Salento that still has its original structure without any alterations, made up of four square-plan towers. The moat remained the touch for just over half of its original structure, still has the caves that housed the wild beasts that were freed in case of invasion

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.
