...on the side of Dům U zlaté studny, the House of the Golden Well, at the intersection of Karlova and Seminářská Streets.
It is one of the more beautiful buildings in Old Prague(Prague 1), with a beautiful gold-leafed facade with the reliefs of Saint Wenceslas and Saint John of Nepomuk, the saint-protectors against the plague and the patron saints of the Jesuit Order. The owners at the time of the Plague, built this in honor of the saints because they survived the plague.
When you look up at this as the sun strikes this facade on a sunny day, it really is quite stunning.
