Rotunda of St. Lawrence, Romanesque rotunda in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic.

The circular stone structure exhibits Romanesque architecture with characteristic rounded arches and thick walls within St. Anne's Church complex in Prague.

The Knights Templar acquired the rotunda in 1232, establishing it as their primary headquarters in the Czech lands during the reign of Wenceslas I.

Archaeological excavations in the 1950s revealed architectural elements connecting the rotunda's design to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

The rotunda stands at coordinates 50.085°N and 14.416111°E, accessible through Anenská street in the Prague 1 district of Old Town.

The north wall of the original structure remains integrated into St. Anne's Church masonry, preserving elements of medieval Templar construction techniques.
