One of the most interesting buildings in Slanské. The roof from the 15th century is also not often seen. Unfortunately, the city management sees it differently and that is why it is only open thanks to the voluntary activity of people, especially around the Parish Charity Slaný. Dik belongs to them.

A beautiful Gothic church built on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. I also recommend a tour of the interior (there are open days throughout the year).

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.
