Very beautiful church with an architectural style a little different from what we are used to seeing. There is also a lovely fresco inside which depicts ancient inhabitants. Otherwise the surroundings of the church are not bad either with beautiful cypresses and a work of art further down. To pray the place is very quiet, there are churches where this is unfortunately no longer the case. In short, a beautiful monument to be appreciated in all its splendor.

Quite peculiar building because it perfectly preserves its wooden roof. The frescoes and details of its interior draw your attention, transporting you to medieval times.

Very nice little Catholic church, we went to visit it at the end of the day and the stained glass windows made the atmosphere inside very calm. From the outside, the church is also very beautiful, however I find that the town hall could highlight it even more.

Very beautiful church located in the town of Clisson in Loire-Atlantique. This building in the center of the town is really in its place in this fortified place. The interior is just very beautiful, the nave beautifully painted, and the framework of the ceiling is really very well worked. This is a place you have to come and visit if you are in the area. The people of this city are lucky to have a beautiful religious building to meditate.

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.
