The history of building this area begins in 1169, when King Vladislav II granted it to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem (since the 16th century - the Order of Malta). The Knights built a church, a monastery, a hospital, the residence of the Grand Prior, and many other buildings. In total, there are now more than 50 buildings in the quarter. Among them - the St. John's Command with the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the chain, the Palace of the Grand Prior, the monastery, Nostice Palace. In the center of the quarter is a square with a monument to the patron saint of the Order of St. John by FM Brokoff. Japan, Denmark and France rent houses in the quarter for their embassies. Among the modern monuments, the most popular wall of John Lennon - graffiti on the ancient wall of the monastery garden.
