The Monastery of St. Agnes is a former convent of Poor Clare nuns, founded in Prague in the 1230s by St. Agnes of Bohemia, sister of King Wenceslas I, who was also the first superior. It is the first building in Bohemia built in the Gothic style. The nuns were expelled from it in 1782. The buildings, which were used for various purposes for two centuries, were restored at the end of the 20th century and now house part of the National Gallery in Prague.
The Spanish Synagogue of Prague was built between 1868 and 1893, and is located at the heart of the Josefov, the Jewish Quarter of Prague. The synagogue is called "Spanish" because of its Moorish style. It is currently administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague, the synagogue hosts exhibitions and concerts of classical music.
The High Synagogue in Prague is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1568, rebuilt in 1691. This stone building now serves as a museum.
The Old-New Synagogue, built in 1270, is the oldest in the Josefov Quarter of Prague and one of the oldest active synagogues in Europe. This Gothic synagogue is also one of the best-preserved synagogues in Central Europe. For centuries it was called the "new synagogue" of the Jewish Quarter, until the construction of several new synagogues in the 16th century.
