Feria Castle

Feria, Spain

Built from a preexisting Moorish fort by the powerful local Feria house, Feria's impeccably revamped 15th-century castle enjoys spectacular panoramas in every direction from its hilltop perch; climb up onto the roof of the Torre del Homenaje for the full view. Inside, spread over three floors, is the excellent Museo Señorío de Feria, with detailed Spanish-language displays on the Feria family and its other nearby castles.

Very impressive monument, and well restored, specially inside the main huge tower. I wish the government gave more funds to fully restore the external walls, as one of the external towers looks like about to collapse. They should also translate all the panels into English, as they contain a lot of information about the history of the castle that foreigners will miss. Maybe with modern phone you can just take pictures of the panels and translate them on-the-fly with google translator.

A steep road leads to the castle which offers a staggering vista over the village on the foot of the castle and over wide landscape. The museum is fine as well, but opening hours are limited.

Perfect to visit with family. Awesome views from the top of the castle.

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.
