Prague is one of Europe’s hidden tourist gems, standing out with its beautiful architecture and various fascinating museums. One such place is the Clementinum. Today, we’ll go over all the formalities you’ll need to visit the Clementinum and some basic info about what it actually is. Let’s take a look!
Clementinum
The Clementinum is a former Jesuit college established in the 16th century – it was likely a Dominican monastery prior to that, probably standing in this exact spot since the middle ages. It’s located near the Charles Bridge. Today, it’s the second largest complex next to the Prague Castle – it houses the National Library of the Czech Republic (most known for its Baroque-styled halls), a museum and the base of the Astronomical Tower, offering a wonderful view of the city.
