Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary at Clementinum
Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary at Clementinum, Mannerist chapel in Old Town, Czech Republic
The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary features extensive mirrors embedded within its walls and ceilings, creating an optical effect throughout the space.
Italian residents of Prague commissioned the construction of this religious building between 1590 and 1597, during the period of strong Jesuit influence.
The chapel contains two pipe organs and regularly schedules concert productions, combining religious architecture with musical performances throughout the year.
Visitors can access the chapel through the Clementinum complex entrances on Karlova Street, with guided tours available in English lasting 45 minutes.
The interior design incorporates a system of mirrors that extends the visual depth of the space while representing theological concepts through architectural elements.
