There is probably an attitude in Rakvere that "snow is our friend, we don't touch him". There are many sidewalks in the city center that have never been snowed all winter and have not seen any sand or granite screens. There is now an almost half-meter uneven layer of ice. There are ice rinks around the railway station, moving between the station and the city center is dangerous even for a healthy and athletic man. How do older people or parents with children move around the city? Shameful negligence! If the argument is that these sidewalks belong to private owners, why are they not fined? And this is not the first such winter.

What a calm and peaceful place to sit and see the water fountains making extraordinary scenes of rainbows in the summers. Right in the middle surrounded by many cafes and grocery stores to buy snacks. ?

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.
