Completely unexpected wonderful experience. Thanks to a coffee taken at the sports bar we had the pleasure of having Mr. MAYOR as a guide who gave us a beautiful morning. Castello ok, SYNAGOGUE, THEATER which is a real unparalleled gem and to rightly finish the JEWISH CEMETERY, all lavishly illustrated by our occasional exceptional companion. Wonderful morning. Resulting in a recommended restaurant. Highly recommended

Gonzaga Castle, inserted in the context of the historic center, gives a bit of mystery on a day with a clouded sky. Listening carefully you can hear carts advance slowly and artisans at work, peasants and traders repeating the verse on the street and the clatter of arms of soldiers on guard, somewhere smells and perfumes of taverns ...

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.
