svatého Ducha
Czechia
You find the Church of the Holy Spirit not on a square or a street front but standing on its own among the trees of Smetanovy sady, the park in the centre of Jihlava. The setting feels almost accidental: an ice stadium, a cinema, a grammar school and a business academy all sit close by, and Dvořákova street runs past. Yet the park is the reason the church is here at all. You are walking over what was once the town's new cemetery, laid out in 1559, and the church was built on it in 1572 to serve the dead.
