The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord (Kostel Nejsvetejsiho Srdce Pane) is located in the very pleasant square and gardens of Namesti Jiriho z Podebrad. The Jiriho z Podebrad metro station access comes up in the corner of the square.
The church, by Josef Plecnik, was completed in 1932, so is 'modern' compared to the majority of Prague's churches. It's most noticeable feature is the clock tower, with it's enormous transparent clock. Constructed mainly of brick, the outside of the church is attractive and has been tastefully decorated. Inside, the brickwork has been mirrored and is simple in it's decor. It is a very serene and pleasant place to spend a few minutes of reflection, no matter what your religion.
Getting there - public transport The Green Metro.
