Loreto Palace in Prague is considered to be a copy of the cottage in which the Virgin Mary lived. It is said that angels carried her cottage from Nazareth to Loreto, an Italian city near Ancona. When the Roman Catholics defeated the Protestant Bohemians in 1620 it was decided to use the miracle of Loreto to woo the Bohemians. The Loreto Palace in Prague is apparently one of 50 copies of the cottage throughout the Czech lands. 18th century statues of the saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and the mother of the Virgin Mary's mother, St Anne, decorate the façade.
