The Church of St. John of Nepomuk was built shortly thereafter when Saint John was sanctified by the Catholic Church.
Santini was the one who decided to construct the church using symbols of the tongue and the numbers 5 and 3 due to Saint John's death at age 53.

Národní Muzeum v novém 2019 / National Museum Prague - Czech Republic
Národní muzeum (NM) je nejvýznamnější česká muzejní instituce. Bylo založeno v roce 1818 a je zaměřeno na více vědních a sbírkových oborů, jak přírodovědných (mineralogie, zoologie), tak historických (archeologie, numismatika atd.) a uměleckých. Své sbírky spravuje a vystavuje v řadě budov v Praze i jinde v Česku. Národní muzeum sídlí v monumentální novorenesanční historické hlavní budově v horní části Václavského náměstí v Praze. Pod Národní muzeum spadá také řada dalších expozic v muzeích a památnících především v Praze, ale i v dalších místech Česka.
Muzeum bylo založeno roku 1818 pod názvem Vlastenské muzeum v Čechách, či Vaterländisches Museum in Böhmen provoláním An die Vaterländichen Freunde der Wissenschaften.[1][2] U zrodu stáli zástupci tehdejší české akademické veřejnosti a především šlechty, přičemž faktickým zakladatelem byl hrabě Kašpar Maria ze Šternberka, paleontolog světového významu, jenž muzeu věnoval své rozsáhlé sbírky, které se staly základem sbírek Národního muzea. Byl to také Šternberský palác na pražských Hradčanech, kde byly v letech 1821 až 1847 první sbírky muzea uloženy[3]. Mezi další osobnosti raného období muzea pak patřili například také František Palacký, či hrabě Jan Dětmar z Nostic, J. T. Lindacker, František Xaver Maxmilián Zippe (zakladatel české mineralogie), botanici Tadeáš Haenke a Karel Bořivoj Presl, bratr Jana Svatopluka Presla. Jan Evangelista Purkyně, či francouzský paleontolog Joachim Barrande, jenž Národní muzeum proslavil celosvětově, nebo matematik Bernard Bolzano.
Mezi zakladateli a pokračovateli muzea byli také členové významného českého šlechtického rodu Kolowratů. Hrabě František Antonín II. se zasloužil o vznik Vlastenského muzea, odkázal mu knihovnu čítající 35 000 svazků knih a sbírku minerálů. Dále hrabě Jan Nepomuk Karel stál u zrodu a odkázal část svých sbírek a březnickou knihovnu s mnoha vzácnými prvotisky a iluminovanými rukopisy. Následně muzeum podporoval hrabě Josef Maria. Mezi další osobnosti patřili také cestovatelé Emil Holub, Vojta Náprstek, slavista Pavel Josef Šafařík, historik Karel Jaromír Erben ad.
Od roku 1848 nesla instituce název České muzeum, v období let 1854–1919 pak Museum Království českého, v letech 1919-1922 Zemské museum a od roku 1922 do 1939 Národní museum. V letech 1940-1945 se nazývalo Landesmuseum in Prag.
