On our way to Vianden we passed by here and had a look. Not very spectacular but nice to see. Foundations of a villa from Roman times with parts of a kitchen, bathroom and contours of a living room with a staircase to the cellar. Completely covered and accessible for free.

Doesn't really look like anything.. Theres this augmented reality app that should show the actual building that was suppose to be build but its not working properly. Not worth visiting

Unfortunately, the housing for these ruins has fallen into disrepair, leaving the site looking more like a hoodlum hangout rather than a 1st century villa. What could have been an interesting visit, was ruined when you see the amount of discarded trash about the area and the graffiti taggings along most of the walls. A disappointment for something that could have held more intrigue.

Missed opportunity to keep history alive because of poor maintenance...

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.
