Although it is a historic tower in the city with the restoration of the sheet that they have put on it, they have taken away the charm of the historical monument

In this place a castle was built with a square tower, crowned with battlements where the remains of the machicolations still remain in its four corners and four walls, the main pointed access door and a large patio. It would be part of a medieval fortress of which only this watchtower would remain on the road from Arcos to Jerez.

Beautiful, although it is in very bad condition, it is a shame.
Fabiana Melgarejo (4 years ago)
It cannot be visited because it is in full restoration. Which seems necessary to me.
Antonio Garcia Prats (4 years ago)
It is a pity that it cannot be visited and is open to the public

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.
