Johannes Kepler had his observatory in the Klementinum, now the National Library. He came to Prague at Tycho Brahe’s invitation and lived in Karlova Street from 1607 to 1612. After Tycho’s death, Rudolf II appointed him imperial mathematician. (See Jičín.) Tycho Brahe’s likeness can also be seen in the ceiling fresco of the Klementinum’s Mathematical Hall. A series of curious sundials stands in an enclosed rectangular courtyard within the complex.
