RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Wednesday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
Monastery of St.Agnes, Na Františku, Prag, The Old Town
The monastery was founded by Sv.Agnes, a princess of the Přemysl dynasty in 1231. She became the first abbess.
The monastery was the first Gothic building in Prague. At the center of the photo we see Agnes´s personal abode. On the left side the church St.Svalvator na right side the church of St. Barbara. In the right part of the picture is a little newer part of the Minorite monastery.
Today, the collection of the old art of the National Gallery is located in the monastery.
