You must arrange a visit in advance (ask at the tourist information office and they will give you the phone number of the company that manages the visits). It is a restored monument but I think it is worth it. It was €8 for the visit (August 2024) and the guide explained it very well and was very nice. Free parking next door. The only bad thing is that you are left wanting to see more hehe. And be careful because from Jerez de los Caballeros Google Maps took me along goat paths that left me under the car and ended up with multiple scratches from oak branches that damaged the paint. You have to go on the normal road, don't pay attention to the navigator. I recommend seeing the Pontón de Brovales which is nearby and the Roman Bridge La Bazana which are not far away. Of course, you have to park carefully in the vicinity without blocking the roads.

We were in the area and when we found out about its existence we wanted to visit it. At the Jerez de los Caballeros Tourist Office they told us that they did not have personnel to make visits and they gave us the contact information for www.tourextremadura.es with whom we contracted the visit. The guide Rosa, exceptional, explained to us the history of the site, the characteristics, the interventions, the environment, in short EVERYTHING very well explained and in a super friendly way. It is impressive to be in a place older than the pyramids. Recommended visit if you are interested in this type of things and recommend 100% TourExtremadura to arrange visits.

You can visit. There is a tourism company in the area that is in charge of visits. The girl is very friendly and answers questions. Just say that if you follow the GPS to get there, be very careful about the path it tells you. It can take you on paths that are almost impassable by car, with much simpler and more suitable paths to get there. Better to inform yourself before.

Very transformed but space that retains its prehistoric charm.

Unfortunately, it cannot be visited, a real shame. We have visited similar, and always someone to show it, but not in Spain....

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.
