It's a pity because of the inappropriate roof of the tower, otherwise a beautiful church.

It is one of the oldest preserved buildings in the city. It is mentioned in written sources as early as 1232, and it is also marked on old maps of the city outside the city walls. The unique baroque marble altar of the Holy Cross from 1756, the work of Francesco Robba, was transferred from the Zagreb Cathedral during Bolle's neo-Gothic renovation. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Church of St. The cross was restored while respecting the earlier values. Since 1914, one of Oton Iveković's greatest works, a painting depicting the "bloody council" over eight meters wide, has adorned the image of the sanctuary.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
