Classical music concert in the Klementina Mirror Chapel in the Old Town of Prague
A beautiful Baroque chapel built in the first half of the 18th century by either the builder Ferdinand Maxmilián Kaňka or Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The interior is richly decorated with marble, frescoes and mirrors - hence the name of the chapel. It was deconsecrated at the end of the 18th century, served as a warehouse for some time, and was later reconstructed into a concert hall. In the Mirror Chapel there are two organs, one located in the choir and the other on the original place of the altar. There are four oil paintings by Václav Vavřinec Reiner.
Klementinum - also known as Clementinum is situated on the right bank of the river Vltava, the Chapel of Mirrors is located inside. From Charles Bridge you can follow Karlova Street.
