Pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora in Žďár nad Sázavou is a UNESCO heritage site. It is visited annually by 30 000 visitors and this number increases each year. Alas, the site does not have proper funding and care that would match the huge tourist attendance. My bachelor’s paper is focusing on topic of improving the conditions of this site for both employees and visitors. Program of my proposal consists of improving and prolonging the tourist experience at this site, using caffés, museums and/or lecture theatre. It is imperative for these improvements to take in mind the complex style and form of this site. The style is influenced by the way in which Santini designed the site using circles. I was inspired for my work by Santini’s grid of circles and contemporary architectural styles, such as architectural field and grid (P. Eisenmann), object oriented onthopogy, mereology (G.Retsin) or 2nd Digital Turn (mario Carpo). This allows us to create complex geometric architecture, which uses the fact, that it does not burden the area and environment after it’s been constructed. Parts of the complex are going to be raised from the Zelená Hora hill itself, so it appears to be a part of the hill.

Kučerová, Mariana ; Oulíková, Petra (advisor) ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the church of St. John of Nepomuk on the Rock. The first part is dedicated to St. John of Nepomuk for understanding his cult which was mostly developed in the Baroque period. Furthermore the attention passes to Baroque religious brotherhoods as a phenomenon of this time with focusing on the oldest Confraternity of Saint John, which became the founder of the church On the Rock. The following chapter dealing with the history of its construction. The most important part of this study is devoted to the architecture of the church with its detailed description, in order to show its unprecedented quality. Another part that is also helping to confirm this assertion is trying to plant the church on the Rock in to the artistic creation of Dientzenhofers and highlight significant foreign shrines which was his formal inspirations. Last, but no less significant chapter focuses on the inside of the church. Attention is paid to the sculptural and painting decoration of particular altars, headed by the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from John Brokoff on the main retable. Not forgotten are also ceiling frescoes by F. A. Müller. Keywords church of St. John of Nepomuk, Prague, baroque, K. I. Dientzenhofer, John Brokoff, J. A. Quitainer, F. I. Platzer, F. A. Müller

Latin inscriptions in České Budějovice
FROJDOVÁ, Marie
The thesis deals with the analysis of Latin inscriptions in the cadaster of České Budějovice. Latin inscriptions in České Budějovice have its origin mainly in the 17th and 18th century and are connected with the sacral objects, buildings and statues. The inscriptions either in or on buildings often contain chronogram, from which it is possible to uncover the date of the construction or reconstruction (e.g. there is one chronogram depicting the date of the monastery reconstruction on the St. Anne Church, another can be found on the town hall, wine shop building or on the St. Nicholas Cathedral). Chronogram can also be found on the gravestones, whence the year of the decease or the year of the gravestone making can be determined (the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary). We also often get in touch with the chronograms at the inscriptions on the pedestals of Josef Dietrich's statues. A difference was discovered in the text on the Marian sculptural group. The text which had been suggested by the town council (1715 signing the contract) is different from the real text (1716 contract making). The text differs when creating the chronogram and it is needed to surmise, what is correct. Interesting are the inscriptions written in Beuronese style (the Church of the Rosary Virgin Mary, the Church of John of Nepomuk and the Church of the Divine Lord´s Heart). The inscriptions contain the texts from the Bible, also from the Latin Vulgate, shortenings and signs; therefore they are difficult to translate. Most often the chapters from the Book of Sirach are quoted, which contains informative wisdoms. Latin inscriptions also celebrate the donator (Calvary Terezie Aichlerová), rulers (town hall Charles VI) or the originators of work (the Church of the Rosary Virgin Mary Klement Petr). Current inscriptions bind to the buildings which they are written on (archive script, university education).
