Awesome view around the half island. This is a cemetery Chapel though.

Lovely place up on top of the hill away from the hoards of tourists. There are benches under the shade of big trees just outside, and the cemetery has nice views out over the adriaric sea.

Beautiful stone St. George's Church and cemetery behind the walls of Primosten. Beautiful vantage point.

Stunning church in one of the most beautiful islet towns in Dalmacija. The walk up the pedestrianised stone pathway to the church is wonderful, and the views from the top breathtaking. The sparkling white stone of the church itself is complimented by the terracotta tiled roof. And the cemetery is filled with luxurious family vaults adorned with brightly colored flowers overlooking the azure blue Adriatic. A place of genuine beauty and serenity, and must for any itinerary of central Dalmacija.

Very nicely arranged surroundings of the church. A neatly path from the market (by the way there is a non-payable toilet). The interior is not so rich, but it is a beautiful church. Beautiful view of the surrounding area (the sea, the city ...), although the viewpoint is a cemetery (it is not good if we atep on a grave to take a good picture of Surrounding nature...). Otherwise it's worth a visit.

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.
