North portal of the Tyn Cathedral is located in Týnská Street.
The Týnská Street is one of the narrowest streets in the Old Town, it runs along the Týnský Temple and passes the Prague's Ungelt. It´s only from this street that you´ll be able to admire the Gothic portal of the Týnský church with its rich decorations from the end of the 14th century. The side placement of the main portal is certainly unusual
and goes against what was traditionally done; however, this uncommon design was conditioned by the thick housing development of the time. One can also admire in particular a very beautiful frontispiece consisting of five argillite plates with reliefs decrypting the Agony of Jesus and the Crucifixion, the work of the Parlér Ironworks.
The author of this painting is Jan Minarík. You can find this painting in book 'Starou Prahou Jana Minaríka' (
