In the place of today´s Hybernia Theatre, there used to be the Gothic monastery of St. Ambrose, built by Charles IV in commemoration of his coronation with the Iron Crown of Lombardy in Milan. It was administered by Milan Benedictines. The church was heavily damaged during the Hussite wars, later it was in the possession of the Order of Friars Minor and after them, different owners. In 1630, the Irish Franciscans (Hybernia means Ireland in Latin) came here to build their monastery and in 1653-59, the early Baroque Church of the Immaculate Conception according to the design by Carl Lurago. A legend says that the Irish monks were the first in Prague to grow potatoes in the monastery gardens.
