"After arrival to Prague the Jesuits bought 23 houses and gardens and built here a college with the chapel of St. František Xaverius. The complex together with the Clementinem and the area around church of St. Nicolas in the Lesser Town used to be one of the centres of the Jesuit order in Prague.
In the second half of the 17th century the college was extensively reconstructed in the Baroque style and on the corner with Jecná street St. Ignacio Church according to the designs of Martin Reiner and Carlo Lurago. After the cancellation of the order in 1773 the college was shortly used as barracks and later as hospital which is still operating here and is supposed to be the oldest hospital building."
