Trujillo Alcazaba was built originally the 12th century. The city changed hands several times between Christians and Arabs in the 12th century and was finally conquered by Fernando III in 1233. The castle was reformed after Reconquista and again in the 15th century.
Surviving years of abandonment, the French invasion, the Carlist War, the Republic and the Civil War, the Castle is the center of Trujillo’s life. It was declared a historical-artistic monument in 1925 and acquired by the city council in 1929. The last reforms that were made were the construction of a first chapel to house the stone image of the city’s patroness saint in 1546, and later, in 1951, the demolition of such chapel to build a larger one inside between the two main towers (albarran towers), from where the image of the Virgin remains today looking towards her town.
References: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.
