Loreto, Prague

Loreto
Our Lady of Loreto, Prague, begun 1721

Nearer the forms of rococo, the facade of the sanctuary of Loreto - made beginning in 1721 on a design by Christoph Dientzenhofer and completed by his son Kilian is especially wide and has austere architectural forms emphasized by the elegant colouring of the cornices, with subtly undulating movement only in the two higher side bodies and in the decorative bell tower.
