I saw people in the tower but I don't know how or where they arranged the visit...

It is good to visit the town in general

It's a beauty. That I must confess. You can literally see the whole town when you look down the castle

Nice town to visit, a few kilometers from Miranda de Ebro

Pequeña población, limpia y ordenada, con los restos de un castillo medieval en lo alto, que resulta encantador visitar en la hora de la puesta del sol. Resulta evocador y vagamente misterioso

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.
