For the first time I found the possibility of visiting the Palazzo dei Trecento during the exhibition commemorating the 100 years of the Air Force. It was a great experience. Ours was very interesting and intriguing, from the photos explained in detail to the samples of suits, even a fighter model. set up outside, it is a marvel for admirers. For those who didn't have the chance, I leave two photos. ??

Palazzo dei Trecento, also known as Palazzo della Ragione, is one of the most important architectures in the historic centre of Treviso, overlooking Piazza dei Signori. Usually open for exhibitions and events. I was there to see the photographic exhibition for the 100 years of the military air force, very beautiful..

Splendid building in the historic center of Treviso. The council chamber which can be visited contains the coats of arms of the city families and is a wooden splendour. Too bad that probably due to the war destruction of 44 this splendid building is surrounded by semi-modern buildings

A visit to this ancient palace completed in the second half of 1200 is well worth it. Maybe accompanied by a bit of history.

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.
