Mirabel Castle or Peña del Acero, is a defensive building whose origins date back to the 15th century. For decades it fell into oblivion and became a secluded ruin that few people visited. However, in recent times it has become one of the main attractions of this area of ​​the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve. Despite its ruined state, the castle is perfectly equipped to walk through its interior with different stairs and metal viewpoints from which we can enjoy wonderful views of the Extremadura pasture and the mountains that surround the Tagus River. The castle also has a large number of information panels inside that will help us better understand the place where we are. The visit is free and you can leave your car parked in the parking lot next to the picnic area located at its feet. The climb is a bit steep, especially the last few meters, although once at the top the effort will be worth it.

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.
