Village des Bories is an open-air museum of around 20 traditional dry-stone huts located 1.5 km from Gordes, in France's Vaucluse department. Once part of a farming area known locally as 'Les Savournins,' these huts served as seasonal agricultural buildings in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The huts are built from local limestone, showcasing various forms such as the “Gordoise nave”, a typical upturned-keel shape, and cupola vaults. Arranged in small groups around yards, they functioned as dwellings, barns, and workshops. Designated a historic monument in 1977, Village des Bories offers a glimpse into Provençal rural life and architecture.
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.
