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.
