Emmaus Monastery

The Emmaus Monastery (Czech: Emauzy or Emauzský klášter), called Na Slovanech in the Middle Ages, is a Benedictine abbey established in 1347 in Prague.

The Gothic cloisters also feature original faded frescoes with bits of Pagan symbolism from the 14th century.

The monastery became a center of culture and art, students of Saints Cyril and Methodius studied there in addition to Jan Hus.

[3] During the Second World War the monastery was seized by the Gestapo and the monks were sent to Dachau concentration camp.
