This place occupies a central position in Prague, on Martinska Street, next to the National Avenue.
Historical buildings in Prague are distinguished by various architectural styles. The Church of St. Martin in the wall is no exception. It was originally built in the Romanesque style, and was later converted to the Gothic style in 1178. In ancient times, when fortifications were just beginning to be built, there was a settlement near the future city of Prague, known as St. Martin's County. After the unification with the city, the church received its name — St. Martin in the wall.
This church perfectly combines elements of different architectural styles — high and late Gothic, as well as Baroque and pseudo-Gothic from the reconstruction in 1905. The original Romanesque style has been preserved only in memory, but it can be seen in the pillar of the dungeon. The current nave belongs to the middle of the 13th century. The church tower, rear view, shows how it harmoniously fits into the walls of the city",
During the reign of Karel IV from 1360 to 1370, the church was Gothic rebuilt. A ribbed vault appeared above the altar, which is considered one of the oldest in the Czech Republic. Today we enter the church through a Baroque portal, built in 1779, with a copy of the painting of St. Martin. The original of this painting was kept inside the church. However, the Church of St. Martin in the wall faced difficulties during the time of Emperor Joseph II. It was closed due to humidity and began to be used as a warehouse. But thanks to the financial assistance of the Golts family from Kvetnitsa, the church was transformed again and became a temple after a late Gothic reconstruction.
