svatý Filip Neri

This sandstone memorial to Saint Philip Neri dates to around 1715 and belongs to the dense network of Baroque devotional figures that punctuate Prague's streets and squares. Philip Neri, a 16th-century Italian priest and founder of the Congregation of the Oratory, was canonized in 1622 and became a widely venerated figure in Habsburg-era Central European Catholicism. Listed as a Czech cultural monument, it is a quiet remnant of Baroque religious sculpture in Bohemia.
