Church of St. Nicholaus



...as one walks across the Charles Bridge, crossing into Mala strana, one sees this sight, Church of St. Nicholaus(Mikuláš). This is the largest of Prague's churches and founded by the Jesuits, with construction beginning in 1703. The dome was completed in 1751. Over a Baroque organ is a fresco of St. Cecilia, patron saint of music; the organs were played by Mozart in 1787.
