The Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola on Charles Square is an outstanding monument of early Baroque in Prague. It is richly decorated inside and out. On the gable of the main façade stands a sculpture of St. Ignatius with a halo over his head, which has drawn criticism from the highest ranks of the Catholic Church. This early Baroque church was originally part of a former Jesuit dormitory (presumably the third largest Jesuit complex in Europe), which today serves as a teaching hospital. The interior impresses with its rich Baroque decoration and the effect of diffused light.
