The history of the Clementine College dates back to the 11th century when a small chapel was built for pilgrimages to St. Clement. In the Middle Ages, the Dominicans founded a monastery that became a Jesuit university in 1556, and in 1622, the Jesuits moved books from Charles University to Clement College, which merged into Charles University in 1654. The Jesuits existed until 1773, when Queen Maria Theresa of Austria built Clement College as an observatory, library, and university. The National Library was founded in 1781, and since 1782 the Clemente Institute has been a legal collection library. 1918 the new Czechoslovakia took over the library, and since 1990 it has been the National Library. The Czech National Library was listed by UNESCO as a Memory of the World project in 2005, and after centuries of witnessing historical changes and treasuring valuable human books, it remains one of the richest cultural landmarks in Prague and one of the most beautiful book havens in the world.
