Neoclassical Catholic temple built between 1766 and 1872 on the remains of the old Romanesque church and designed by the architect Julián Sánchez Bort. The plan of the temple is a Greek cross, organized around a central dome supported by Ionic pillars with naves covered by cylindrical vaults, and with its four corners with chapels covered by vaults. The main façade is made up of two superimposed bodies, with two towers on both sides. By bull of Juan XXIII in 1959 it reached the category of co-cathedral of the Mondoñedo-Ferrol diocese

Impressive work of architecture, it is a temple with beautiful carvings and reflects a beautiful splendor, it is very bright and at the same time very solemn, frankly charming from the artistic point of view, and from the spiritual point of view it is brand new, to enter it, It already gives a feeling of peace and security at the same time, in short, for those who visit the city it is a highly recommended point and cannot be overlooked.

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.
