Marmiroi Church

Pashaliman, Albania

Marmiroi church is mentioned in historical records for the first time in 1307. Since it has no narthex, and because of other similarities to other similar churches in Bulgaria and former Yugoslavia, it is thought to have been built in the 12th or 13th century AD, although some researchers have put its construction period in the 10th century. The most accredited hypothesis is that it was dedicated to Saint Mary.

Lovely historical church located in remote farm fields. The drive there is a little rocky however doable with any car. Once you arrive you can either park the car on the dirt road and cross the river, around the hill by foot to reach the church or drive the whole way. Lots of turtles everywhere on the road to the church! Worth a visit!

Ancient and untouched, very rare and important. Hard to fathom how it's just in the open, for anyone to visit. For the cultural and historical interested, definitely a sight to visit.

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.
