The title of one of the most famous monasteries in Prague - Loreta - closely linked to the houses of Our Lady, which is now located in Italy. The hut in which the Virgin Mary lived, was dismantled and brought from Palestine in the Italian town of Loreto, which has become a holy site for many believers. In the Middle Ages people believed that the hut transported to Italy itself. Among those who came to worship this shrine, there were Czechs. Around the same time came the fashion to recreate similar huts in various European cities. Thus copy of Little House of the Virgin Mary appeared in Prague. Work on the marble chapel of the Santa Casa, is exactly the same Shack Virgin, led Italian sculptor DB Orsini. Inside is a silver altar and the walls are decorated with frescoes, preserved from the XVII century.

This chapel is considered the heart of Loreto Convent. All the other buildings were built around it.

Next to the chapel is the church of the Nativity, built in Baroque style. In this temple relics of the martyrs Felitsissimusa and Mars. The bells in the tower of the church were created in the late XVII century in Amsterdam and are still used by the monks.
