St Cyril and Methodius Church, Prague

Its foundation stone was laid in 1854 in the presence of Emperor Francis Joseph I, a tribute to the support of the Habsburg monarchy by the First Congress of Panslav in Prague as a political formation that is most likely to protect the peoples of Central Europe.

Monastery of St. Agnes

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.
