The church of St Nicholas divides and dominates the two
sections of the Little Quarter Square. Building began in
1703; and the last touches were put to the glorious frescoed
nave in 1761. It is the acknowledged masterpiece of father-and
son architects Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer
The statues, frescoes and paintings inside the church are
by leading artists of the day, which includes a fine crucifixion
of 1646 by Karel Skreta.
