Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: St. Mary of the Snows

St. Mary of the Snows church naturally is open year-round, but here's an actual picture of the church in the snow. Officially founded in 1347 (some sources say 1397, so this could be wrong), this church is physically the highest in Prague with a 34 metre-high vault, even though this photo doesn't make it obvious. This height record doesn't include spires, as St. Vitus Cathedral and several other Christian places of worship have spires far above 34 metres. The altar at St. Mary of the Snows is also higher than any other in Prague, at 29 metres.

Here's another shot of the flowerbeds and clothes shop from farther out.

Here are a couple of the flowerbeds in Frantiskanska Zahrada. The small yellow building behind them is now a clothes shop, but I'm assuming it was once associated with the monastery.

Trying to finish my roll of film with something decent, and realising that I had never photographed Frantiskanska Zahrada before, I walked back into the garden during a break and took some photos. The garden is behind St. Mary of the Snows Church, seen here. This was once a monastery (as far as I know it isn't anymore), although it went by several different names through the centuries. The church dates to 1372.
