What is the name of that monastery in Prague that is said to have some of the most beautiful libraries in the world?(give a different answer) .
That monastery is named Strahov, it's near the Pohorelec station on the tram 22 line. It has indeed some of the most beautiful bookrooms in the world, with around 1 million volumes from the 17th and 18th century placed in gilded chambers, decorated with wood insertions and frescoes. There is also a liturgical painting exibition next door, in the paintings gallery.
