Bay Chapel of the Old Town Hall

The historical core of the town hall consists of a Gothic tower added on to Volflin's former house in c. 1364 when it became a new dominant feature of the square. On the east side the tower connects to the town hall chapel of the Virgin Mary and the Patrons of Bohemia, consecrated in 1381 and equipped with a grand bay opening towards the square. The chapel is one of the so-called Wenceslas' monuments, as shown by the heraldic symbols of Wenceslas IV decorating the interior – torses and kingfishers.

Ball Games Hall in the Royal Garden

From Sudek's favourite Castle and Royal Garden the Ball Games Hall was damaged the most (sometimes called the Great Ball Games Hall). The building, originally intended for the playing of ball games, is a Renaissance site from 1567–1569 designed by the court architect and builder Bonifác Wolmuth.PV (VV, MS) [Pavel Vlček (Václav Vančura, Markéta Svobodová)], Královská zahrada (c. k. dvorní zahrada), in: Pavel Vlček a kol., Umělecké památky Prahy.

Sts Cyril and Methodius Church

Sts Cyril and Methodius Church in Resslova Street was built in 1730–1735 as the Roman Catholic church of St Charles Borromeo in Baroque style from a design by the architects Paul Ignaz Bayer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. In 1783 the church was abolished and served as storage. In 1933–1934 it was handed over to the Orthodox church which has taken care ever since. In 1935 it was dedicated to Sts Cyril and Methodius.PV [Pavel Vlček], Kostel sv. Cyrila a Metoděje, in: Růžena Baťková a kol., Umělecké památky Prahy.

In the second half of the 14th century the church was rebuilt in Gothic style and it was adapted during the Renaissance and Baroque periods as well.

Jesuit College on Charles Square

The Baroque college of the New Town Jesuits was built in several phases. In 1658–1665 and after 1674 the southern part with St Francis Xavier Church was built with the participation of the architects Martin Reiner and Carlo Lurago (?). During the following phase in 1687–1702, Paul Ignaz Bayer took part, which was completed in 1751 and after 1759 probably under the direction of Jan Josef Wirch. After the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773 a military hospital was established there in 1776.PV [Pavel Vlček], čp. 504/II, in: Růžena Baťková a kol., Umělecké památky Prahy.
