BRIDGE TOWER OF STARE MESTO AND
Square of the Knights of the Cross
(Krizovnicke namesti)
The early Baroque Church of St. Francis (kostel sv.
Frantiska Serafinskeho) was built in 1679 – 1685 on the
foundation of the original Gothic church according to the design
of French architect Jean Baptiste Mathey. His plans were of
vital importance to the origins of Czech dynamic Baroque. The church has two levels. The Baroque masonry of the lower
church, with its stalactiform grotto accessible from the Gallery
of the Knights of the Cross (Galerie krizovniku), contains the
exposed remains of the original Gothic cathedral. The upper
church has a wealth of painted, sculptured and skilfully crafted
adornments that are dominated by the frescos of Vaclav Vavrinec
Reiner and Jan Krystof Liska, who, together with Michael Leopold
Willmann, created the altarpieces.
Today the Gallery of the Knights of the Cross is situated in the
neighbouring early Baroque building of the hospital and
general's seat of the Knights of the Cross with a Red Star.
Gaudentio Casanova had it built according to plans that Carlo
Lurago drew up in 1661. The Gallery houses a collection of
excellent specimens of European goldsmithery (ZLATO) from the
late Gothic era to the 20th century. From here it is also
possible to enter the lower church and the well-preserved first
pillar of the former Judith Bridge, the predecessor to Charles'
Bridge.
