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.
