Rounda of St.Longinus, about 1100, Na Rybníčku, Nové Město, Praha 2
Emperor Charles IV. did not found the New Town of Prague "on a green meadow". Old settlements were here earlier. Centers of settlements were churches. Charles kept the churches.
Charles transferred the relics of St. Longinus from Italy to this rotunda, and Charles dedicated the church to him. (Originaly was the patron of rotunda St.Stephan..)
