Castle of Arab construction, located near the Tavizna River on the road that goes from the forest to Ubrique. The path begins parallel to the Tavizna River and we must cross to the other bank and climb along a wire fence. The last stretch of your life to the castle is made of small, loose stone and is slippery.

Incredible route, somewhat hard for older people but the experience has been formidable

The views are more beautiful than what remains of the Castle, practically demolished. The ascent is a bit complicated and is not signposted. Good route for hiking but if you don't know it or don't have the Track on an app you may get lost, it is not signposted. It's worth getting to the top.

El castillo está en ruinas.Apenas hay unos cuantos muros en pie.Yo fui allí de senderismo y hay que subir bastante para llegar hasta él

Nice views from the top but not really worth the trek in July. All the paths were over grown and the were all spikey bushes or thorns. We pushed through out of pure stubbornness.

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.
