V	Vladimir Pecha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Italové (Vlaši) se začali v Praze usazovat někdy v polovině 16. století. V roce 1573 vznikla Vlašská kongregace. Italská kolonie se rozrostla zejména za Rudolfa II., jenž poskytl práci zručným řemeslníkům, malířům a stavitelům. Italská malostranská komunita se rozhodla si kromě špitálu v podhradí vybudovat i vlastní svatostánek. Jednoduchou manýristickou oválnou stavbu s kopulí postavil v letech 1590–97 Domenico Bossi podle projektu O. Mascarina. Vysvěcena byla v roce 1600. Interiér je zařízen barokně. Vstupní portikus od F. M. Kaňky (1715) s krásnými kovanými mřížemi je zároveň vstupem do sousedního kostela sv. Klimenta. V kapli se konají výstavy a koncerty. The Italians began to settle in Prague sometime in the middle of the 16th century. In 1573 the Wallachian Congregation was established. The Italian colony grew especially during the reign of Rudolf II, who provided work to skilled craftsmen, painters and builders. The Italian Lesser Town community has decided to build it´s own sanctuary in addition to the hospital in the foothills of Prague´s Castle. A simple Mannerist oval building with a dome built in 1590-97 by Domenico Bossi according to the O. Mascarin project. It was consecrated in 1600. The interior is furnished in baroque style. The entrance portico from F.M. Kaňka (1715) with beautiful forged grilles is also the entrance to the neighboring church of St. Kliment. Nowadays the exhibitions and concerts are held in the chapel.

M	Michal Zdeněk Zachar (PEI) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kapli, jednoduchou manýristickou oválnou stavbu s kopulí, postavil v letech 1590–97 D. Bossi podle projektu O. Mascarina pro potřeby Italů usedlých v Praze (odtud pojmenování Vlašská). Eliptický půdorys kaple dokumentuje velkou myšlenkovou přeměnu doby – ústup od racionálního renesančního myšlení, které se odráželo v kruhovém půdorysu renesančních staveb, v smyslovější názor baroka symbolizovaný právě dynamičtější a z každého úhlu jinak působící elipsou; díky této symbolice patří Vlašská kaple k nejvýznamnějším renesančním stavbám Evropy. Interiér je zařízen barokně. Vstupní portikus od F. M. Kaňky (1715) s krásnými kovanými mřížemi je zároveň vstupem do sousedního kostela sv. Klimenta. V kapli se konají výstavy a koncerty. Ideální prostor pro modlitbu v centru Prahy. The chapel, a simple mannerist oval building with a dome, was built in 1590–97 by D. Bossi according to a design by O. Mascarin for the needs of Italians settled in Prague (hence the name Vlašská). The elliptical floor plan of the chapel documents a great transformation of time - a retreat from rational Renaissance thinking, reflected in the circular ground plan of Renaissance buildings, into a more sensual Baroque view symbolized by a more dynamic and different ellipse acting from every angle; Thanks to this symbolism, the Wallachian Chapel is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Europe. The interior is Baroque. The entrance portico by F. M. Kaňka (1715) with beautiful forged bars is also the entrance to the neighboring church of St. Klimenta. Exhibitions and concerts take place in the chapel. Ideal place for prayer in the center of Prague.
