Full description

Hidden among the streets of Malá Strana, this church was completed in 1613 and later rebuilt by the Carmelite order. From the outside it is modest, but the interior is opulent and theatrical in true baroque style.

It is best known as the home of the Infant Jesus of Prague, a small statue of the child Jesus venerated by pilgrims from around the world. Entry is free, visits typically take about 30 minutes, and many visitors describe it as a quiet refuge away from the busier tourist streets nearby, still very much used for prayer.
