Moron Church

Saint-Vincent, Italy

The current structure of Chiesa Parrocchiale di Saint-Vincent, with a large circular apse, dates back to the 15th century, when important changes were made to a probable, pre-existing Romanesque building. For some time it conserved certain parish church prerogatives (festive functions and cemetery), even though it was never a parish church.The apse vault has a beautiful series of ribbed stone. Recent restoration removed the modern structures and decor, in an attempt to restore the church to its original appearance. In the past, on Easter Monday, the so-called “vineyard procession” took place, which in almost six hours passed through all the villages and chapels on the Saint-Vincent hillside.

Magnificent church with period paintings and mini museum with sacred statues and findings. It was bombed and then renovated.

A beautiful stone and masonry church dedicated to San Vincenzo with some display cases containing sacred objects and paintings on the walls. A visit can be interesting

Paolo Bossi (2 years ago)
Beautiful building that recalls the style of the area, with stone inserts. Lumi dares inside and the frescoes in the apse are interesting. Worth visiting if you are in Saint Vincent.

Beautiful church, gorgeous frescoes and a wonderful organ! We really liked the fact that the mass is projected on a screen located outside for all those who have no place inside.

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.
