Klementinum Library
 The large complex of Klementinum was founded by the Jesuits after their arrival in Bohemia in 1556. Initially, members of the order lived in a former Dominican monastery, but in 1653 began expanding their premises. |  Klementinum has a long and rich history, and to this day is an important place of culture and knowledge. Visitors today can go on a guided tour here and visit the Baroque library, Meridian hall and Astronomical tower. |  The reconstruction lasted over 170 years, so there is a variety of architectural styles in Klementinum. With more than 2 hectares it is also one of the largest building complexes in Europe. |
