Anenská

Anenská Street in Prague's Old Town Tower district connects Smetana Embankment with Anenský Square and continues on to Liliová Street. The name comes from a Dominican convent dedicated to St. Anne, which was founded in 1313 and dissolved in 1782. Today the building houses the ballet ensemble of the National Theatre. The historic area was once known as "At St. Anne's." Since the sixteenth century, the street name has referred only to Anenská and the adjoining square. Here you can admire architecturally interesting buildings, including the Baroque Čejkovský Palace at the corner of Liliová, as well as the Schönfeld House and a historic townhouse at the corner of Smetana Embankment.
