Church of Saint Francis of Assisi
Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, Baroque church near Charles Bridge in Old Town, Czech Republic
The church features a large dome with frescoes of the Last Judgment and colored marble walls decorated in sophisticated patterns throughout the interior.
Agnes of Bohemia established the original church in 1252 near the Monastery of Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, the only male religious order from Czech lands.
The architecture combines Roman Baroque elements with French Classicism, reflected in the stone slab walls and dynamic facade that dominates Křížovnické Square.
The church regularly hosts organ music concerts in late afternoon hours, with advance tickets available through the official website.
The Gothic foundations of the original 13th-century structure remain visible in the church crypt beneath the current Baroque building.
