One
of the most beautiful libraries in the world is located in the historic
building of the Prague Jesuit collegium, built in the baroque style.
She began work in 1772 by the decision of Maria Theresa and until today
serves the readers. The library's collection includes more than 7
million publications, among which there are rare books, and ancient
manuscripts, and rare folios.
In addition to the library, the
Clementinum complex includes an astronomical observatory, a mathematical
museum and a weather station, which, incidentally, is considered to be
the oldest in Central Europe. The library hall is designed in the
Baroque style, its main attractions are the frescoes of the painter
Joseph Dibel and numerous ancient globes.
