Barborská street runs along the front of the 17th-century former Jesuit College, and is decorated with a row of 13 baroque statues of saints, an arrangement inspired by the statues on Prague’s Charles Bridge. All are related to the Jesuits and/or the town; the second statue – the woman holding a chalice, with a stone tower at her side – is St Barbara, the patron saint of miners and therefore of Kutná Hora.
