The Benedictine Monastery Church of the Virgin Mary was founded by Slavs in the 14th December 1347, when Pope Clement VI granted the request of Charles IV. and gave his consent to the establishment of the monastery with the Slavonic liturgy. The monastery was taught by Benedictines monks who are called the Eastern rite of Dalmatia and Croatia, and who used it as a liturgical language Old Church Slavonic. It was the intention of the Emperor to consolidate the Slavic relations and help to eliminate divisions between the Western and Eastern churches.

Malíruv pohled na klášter Na Slovanech (Emauzy) byl porízen ze vzdálenejšího místa než dovolila dnešnímu fotografovi budova Ministerstva práce a sociálních vecí. Domy C.p. 1409/11 a 1396/11 byly zboreny v roce 1929 a pred rokem 1948. V roce 1968 byla podle návrhu Františka Maria Cerného dokoncena rekonstrukce veží kostela, znicených pri náletu 14. února 1945.
