Nestled in one of the most atmospheric corners of Prague’s Staré Město, St. Agnes Convent (Klášter sv. Anežky České) stands as the city’s oldest surviving example of Gothic architecture, dating back to the 13th century. The convent’s cloister and churches offer a glimpse into its rich historical past, with intricate stonework and soaring arches that define the Gothic style. Today, visitors can explore the National Gallery’s collection of medieval and early Renaissance art housed within these historic walls, providing a unique blend of cultural and architectural heritage.
