RUDOLFINUM

Alšovo nábřeží 12

110 00 Praha 1 - Staré Město

The Rudolfinum is one of the most important Neo-Renaissance edifices in the Czech Republic. In its conception as a multi-purpose cultural centre it was quite unique in Europe at the time of its construction. Based on a joint design by two outstanding Czech architects, Josef Zítek and Josef Schultz, a magnificent building was erected serving for concerts, as a gallery, and as a museum. The grand opening on 7 February 1885 was attended by Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, in whose honour the structure was named. In 1896 the very first concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra took place in the Rudolfinum's main concert hall, under the baton of the composer Antonín Dvořák whose name was later bestowed on the hall.

THE PRAGUE EXHIBITION GROUNDS (VÝSTAVIŠTĚ PRAHA) IN HOLEŠOVICE

Areál Výstaviště 67

170 00 Praha 7 - Bubeneč

The Prague Exhibition Grounds (Výstaviště Praha), located in Prague 7, is a historic leisure complex. This area was created by separating a section of the Royal Game Park during the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Industrial Exhibition of 1791. It was here that prefabricated iron architecture was used for the first time in the Czech lands. The palace was completed in ten months in 1891 despite the exhibition grounds being affected by floods and severe frosts at the time. The building is an important artistic and technical monument and is used for exhibitions, festivals, and other cultural and entertainment events. Since February 2022, the site has been undergoing renovation and reconstruction work on part of the complex that had previously burnt down. 

BETHLEHEM CHAPEL

Betlémské náměstí 4

110 00 Praha 1 – Staré Město

The Bethlehem Chapel was established in 1391 for preaching in the Czech language. The chapel’s founding was an important act, as can be seen from the participation of Jan of Jenštejn (Johann von Genzenstein), the Archbishop of Prague, and from the interest of King Wenceslas IV. The chapel’s popularity saw a considerable revival from 1402 to 1413, when Jan Hus (John Huss) was preaching there. In 1786 the building was largely demolished, but a replica in its original form was built in the 1950s with the use of preserved fragments of masonry. The Bethlehem Chapel has been a national cultural monument since 1962, and its premises now serve as a ceremony hall for the Czech Technical University in Prague and as a venue for cultural and other events.

ANEŽSKÝ KLÁŠTER 

U Milosrdných 17

110 00 Praha 1 - Staré Město

The Convent of St. Agnes in the 'Na Františku' neighbourhood of Prague's Old Town is considered the first Gothic structure not only in Prague but in all of Bohemia. It was founded by King Wenceslas I in 1233–34 at the instigation of his sister, the Přemyslid princess Agnes of Bohemia, for the Order of Saint Clare which Agnes introduced into Bohemia and of which she was the first abbess. The convent was preceded by a hospital. The 'Poor Clares' originated as an offshoot of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi, and the convent was at one time known as the Prague Assisi. Agnes was an outstanding figure in religious life of the thirteenth century. Besides this Clarist convent she also founded the only Czech religious order – the Hospital Order of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. She was canonized in 1989.
