Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The article describes two phases in the construction of a monastery complex and their characteristics. It concentrates on the second phase (up to 1500) in which there was erected a two-nave building described as a caenaculum.

The site echoes biblical Jerusalem - it can be seen in other structures such as the Holy Sepulchre and the Siloe Well. These ideas are connected to Jan Hasištejnský's 1493 journey to Jerusalem.
