The Benedictine Monastery Emauzy stands near the Vltava just behind Palackeho Square. The monastery was established by Slavic Benedictines from Croatia and Dalmatia under Charles IV in 1347. The name is taken from the consecration of the Monastery with the reading of the Gospel about the Journey to Emmaus where Christ appeared to the Disciples. The monastery became a Hussite seminary in the 15th century and Jan Hus was a student here. Johannes Kepler also stayed here during his sojourn in Prague. The twin peaked steeples were part of reconstruction after a bombardment of the World War II. According to legend, St. Procopius and St Methodius stayed nearby in Vysehrad. During medieval times, it was known as the Monastery of St Jeronimus of the Slavs. The monastery was begun in 1347 with the consent of Pope Clement VI, but completed in 1372. In 1416, it became a house for the Hussites and in 1446, a monastery for the Utraquists who recognized and served both wine and bread as sacraments for communion.
