=========================================================

Pohled z Vltavy od severu na most a rádové budovy. Komplex konventu byl založen po prestehování rádu k mostu v roce 1252, soucasná podoba vznikla podle projektu Carla Luraga z roku 1661 a budovy byly v roce 1846 zvýšeny o patro. Dnešní kostel sv. Františka Serafínského byl vybudován na míste a cástecne I základech svého gotického predchudce. Jeho soucasnou barokní podobu z let 1679 -1685 navrhl Jean Baptista Mathey. Roku 1903 byl rekonstruován generalát. Karluv most byl založen císarem Karlem IV. v roce 1357 na míste svého predchudce, Juditina mostu, který pripomínají již jen pozustatky spojené s budovou konventu zachycené na obraze vlevo. Uprostred obrazu vidíme strechu Staromestské mostecké veže.
