Romanesque church, very well preserved.
Angel Martínez (2 years ago)
It is a church, which in addition to having Santiago as its patron saint, has the Jaqués checkered pattern on the upper part of the door. Despite the fact that no Camino de Santiago is recognized from this area, there is a tradition of pilgrimage from this coast. There is also an oral tradition that speaks of a tunnel from the church to the Torres de Mens Like many other churches, you can only visit the interior during mass hours. The small fort that are the towers, cannot be visited either because it is private property

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.
