| Sumario: | When it was decided to construct a building separate from the block of the University of St. Ignatius, the project for the Jesuit novitiate was commissioned to the master architect Jan Kraus in 1700. It was never fully completed due to differences between the provincial and the general of the Society of Jesus. It still served its function between 1700 and 1725. But then the building was used as a retreat house until the expulsion in 1767. Coincidentally, the crypt of its unfinished church, forgotten and rediscovered in 1989, after more than half a century of being hidden under an avenue, came to our time. We contribute with this work some unknown historical references such as its archaeological discovery and architectural recovery. |
