The Church of St. Elias in Prague is a Baroque church with a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Originally Gothic and rebuilt several times, it now impresses with its 18th-century Baroque interior, decorated with frescoes and a magnificent altar. It is also an important centre for the Poles of Prague, being the parish church of the Polish parish of St. John Paul II. Be sure to pay attention to the oldest bell in Prague – “Idzi” – and the legendary portal with a sculpture of a dog with a torch, referring to the story of St. Dominic. The frescoes decorating the interior are by Wenzel Lorenz Rainer, one of the leading Czech Baroque artists, whose remains are buried here.
