St. Agnes Convent is a pearl of Prague gothic architecture and a national historical landmark

The architecture of St. Agnes Convent is based on hidden meanings and symbolism. It is the first large Gothic building on the territory of Czech Republic.

The setting was very atmospheric, which added to the experience of the concert and the appreciation of the music. There was plenty of room and it was not cramped despite a large number of people attending.
