What's in a Prague street name

Originally published on X on 6 June 2024.

Quick one today: a ‘klášter’ is a monastery, convent, nunnery or cloister, and this convent was already discussed a few days ago: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/11/05/prague-1-day-243-anezska/.

The church that has its address on Klášterská is the Church of St Salvator (Christ the Saviour), opened in 1611 (and the garden that’s just out of shot is what we’ll be talking about tomorrow).

And across from that, you’ve got more impressive views of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (and that we’ll be talking about a bit more in two days’ time).
