The Church of St. Thomas (Thomas), located in the Small Town, is an architectural and cultural heritage of Prague. The church has stood for almost 800 years, having survived many events. Now the church together with the adjacent monastery is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The Gothic church was founded during the reign of Czech King Wenceslas II in 1285. At the same time, the king, known for his religiosity, invited the Order of Augustinians to Prague. They received land and added a monastery to the church, where members of the order could live and be educated.→
