I went to church with my cousin. She is so helpful in making sure it's nice where my beloved Dad and Mom lie. And my cousin's son unfortunately lies there a little way away There have been baptisms, weddings. Funerals. And the priests who worked there, have both baptized, confirmed, solemnized and funerals.

Very nice road paintings from the 15th century although they are restored in the early 20th century. An interesting church with nice details including a medieval wooden cabinet.

If they think there should be a bin by the memorial grove, you can throw away all the withered flowers that are there.

A quite small yet marvelous church, gorgeous interiors and a literally huge graveyard.

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.
