The Clementinum in Prague has no named architect in the article, and no client is named. The main building phase ran from 1709 to 1726. The page has no infobox, so there is no conflict to report. The article calls the style Baroque and gives no materials.
The complex covers about 20,000 square meters and is the second largest in Prague after Prague Castle. The library was transferred in 1622 and merged with the university in 1654. The Jesuits were suppressed in 1773, the National Library was founded in 1781, and the first World's Fair took place in 1791.
Jan Kaplický won a competition for a new library building, but that decision was overruled. The National Library bought the Letná site in 2006. The Clementinum houses the National Library of the Czech Republic, and Prague City Tourism has run a Baroque route since 2023. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
