St. James Church (Trnava)
It was built in 1632 on the site of an older Gothic building. It was given its final form in 1712. It is believed that in the first half of the 13th century, before the arrival of the Franciscans in Hungary, a monastery of another order, probably a Benedictine abbey, stood on the site of the present buildings. The Franciscans came to Trnava sometime in the 1330s and probably settled in a smaller house near the church of St. Helena, where the town hospital stood.
