Slovanské Emauzy

The Emmaus Monastery with Prague eyes wide open.

Karel IV. founded the monastery of Benedictines of the Slavic liturgy, hence the name "On the Slavs", out of respect for his Přemysl ancestors. He attached extraordinary importance to it within the entire Holy Roman Empire and he paid particular attention to its decoration. This is still evidenced by the wall paintings that survived the hardships of centuries and even the explosion of an Allied bomb at the end of World War II.

The guided tour will present the area of ​​the medieval monastery in Emmaus – the cloister, the imperial chapel, the baroque refectory, the Church of the Virgin Mary, St. Jerome and Slavic patrons.
