It is accessible from the third courtyard and via Vikářská street and from the east via Jiřská street. There are several significant objects turning into its space. First of all it is by its frontage the three-aisled basillica of St. George with two towers and frontage of the Chapel of St. John Nepomuský, constructed in 1718-1722 based on the project of architect František Maxmilián Kaňka. In today´s appearance the frontage of romanesque basilica of st. George is early baroque from the third quarter of the 17th century. Along with the church which was constructed in the first quarter of the 9th century was in 973 also established the monastery of female benedictines, where the foundress Mlada, later called blessed, a sister of the emperor Boleslav II. became the first superioress.

There is also former Institution of noblewomen and church of All Saints which partly turns into the space of square. Leading in on the south side of square there are so-called Jezdecké schody/Riders stairs coming from the Vladislav´s hall.
