A picture taken in Prague - what is it?
 
Last month I visited Prague & when I got around to labeling my pictures I found that I didn't know what this building is. I have attached a photo taken by another fodorite, Olegis, (http://www.pbase.com/olegis/image/59886401). In the picture, it's the one with the statues & arches. If you stand on the Charles Bridge facing the Old Town, this building looks like a church & is framed by the arch of the tower. Does anyone know what it's called? Thanks.

I think it's the baroque church Sv Frantisek. It was the church of the knights who guarded the bridge.

St Francis of the Knights has a dome and sits to the left of the square.

The one you are asking about is the Church of the Holy Saviour of Clementinum.

Thank you. That's the one.

Thanks for the correction, J62.
