		On the top of it there is erected the pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk, constructed in the begin of 18th century on a star plan, the masterpiece of Jan Blazej Santini Aichel and of his personal Gothicizing Baroque style.
		The church here is the work of the architect Jan Santini, who developed his own style mostly based on baroque but with gothic influences.
		The five pointed star and tongues occur consistently in the design and decoration of the church, this is why ICOMS viewed it as being a form of Gesamtkunstwerk as its architecture is linked to symbolism and other art forms of the baroque period.

	Michal Kosut - Czech Contemporary Composer
		From the same year dates even Kosut's most successful symphonic composition Jan Santini Aichel, a musical apotheosis of one of the greatest architects of the Czech baroque.
		It is an extraordinary look with the eyes of modern man at Santini's lofty monumental architecture whose basic characteristics are expressed in his composition by musical means also containing some typical baroque elements.
		The electroacoustic composition The Cathedral of Coventry represents the fate of the well-known Gothic cathedral, which became for Kosut a symbol of a nonsensical war destruction of cultural values and human lives.

	Aichel font family : MyFonts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Aichel is a Storm font family with 1 style priced from $26.00.
		Every type face which was originally designed for use in architecture (in this particular case for a UNESCO memorial plaque for a church built by Jan Santini-Aichel on Zelená Hora) is surprisingly well usable also in minor graphic works.
		The proportions and colour (tonal value) of the upper-case letters derive freely from Mediaeval and apart from this they paraphrase, as was required in the order, the morphology of the Baroque Gothic.

		On the monastery grounds is a stable designed by Santini himself which now serves as a museum, with an exhibit dedicated to his work in the area as well as the rest of the country.

		If a Renaissance architect might have done the cupola of S. Ivo differently, so too would a late baroque designer.
		Nurtured on the plan of S. Ivo architects like Ferdinando Sanfelice or Jan Santini-Aichel, the great geometrical masters of the eighteenth century, were instinctively drawn to plans full of sharp angles, often based on stars.
		But they always saw to it that the star-shaped interior was reflected directly on the exterior, in the form of angular and multi-faceted drums and cupolas.
