Wallenstein garden - Prague (CZ)

in Worldmappin14 days ago

Welcome, today we will not look at any long-distance route as you are used to with me, but we will visit the deepest center of Prague. We will take a look at the Wallenstein garden, which is located at Letenská 123/4, 118 00 Malá Strana and can be visited for free from April to October.

Vítejte, dnes se nepodíváme na žádnou dálkovou trasu jak jste u mě zvyklý, ale zavítáme do nejhlubšího centra Prahy. Podíváme se do Valdštejnské zahrady, která leží na adrese Letenská 123/4, 118 00 Malá Strana a je možné ji navštívit od dubna do října zdarma.

The garden is built in the early Baroque style and was founded at the same time as the Wallenstein Palace, which currently houses the Senate of the Czech Republic. In the northeastern part there is a square pond, which is home to many massive carp.

Zahrada je zbudována v raně barokním stylu a byla založena současně se stavbou Valdštejnského paláce, kde v současné době sídlí Senát České republiky. V severovýchodní části je čtvercový rybníček, jež je domovem mohutných kaprů.

Carp are not the only inhabitants of the garden. You can also meet free-roaming peacocks here.

Kapři nejsou jediní obyvatelé zahrady. Můžete zde potkat i volně potulujicí se pávy.

The garden also includes several fountains that are decorated with sculptures. So every photographer, art and history lover will surely find something to their liking.

Součástí zahrady je i několik fontán, které jsou zdobeny sochami. Takže každý fotograf, milovník umění i historie si jistě přijde na své.

From the pond, there is a view of several landmarks of Prague at the same time. You can look at the distant church of St. Nicholas on Malá Strana and at the same time Prague Castle.

Od rybníčku je výhled na několik dominant Prahy současně. Můžete se podívat na vzdálený kostel svatého Mikuláše na Malé Straně a zároveň na Pražský hrad.

At the time of my visit, it was just after a night's rain, so the puddles on the roads made movement difficult for all visitors.

V době mojí návštěvy bylo zrovna po nočním děšti a tak louže na cestách znepříjenovali pohyb všem návštěvníkům.

The western part of the garden is dominated by the Sala terrena, where concerts are sometimes held.

Západní části zahrady dominuje Sala terrena, kde se občas konají koncerty.

The southern part is finished with a grotto wall, which fascinated me as a child when I visited the garden with my school.

Jižní část je zakončena grottovou stěnou, která mě fascinovala již jako dítě, když jsem zahradu navštívil se školou.

Among the treetops I found this interesting view of the St. Vitus Church at Prague Castle. The autumn colors and the fog made this picture much more interesting.

Mezi korunami stromů jsem našel tento zajímavý pohled na chrám svatého Víta na Pražském hradě. Podzimní barvy a mlha udělali tento snímek daleko zajímavějším.

Sala terrena is decorated with frescoes on the theme of Greek gods. Marcantonio Canevalle, Galli and probably Baccio del Bianco participated in these paintings.

Sala terrena je zdobena freskami na téma řeckých bohů. Na těchto malbách se podíleli Marcantonio Canevalle, Galli a pravděpodobně i Baccio del Bianco.

I will say goodbye to you by looking at the decoration. And next time I will show you some interesting place that I visited during this summer and autumn. Until then, bye.

Pohledem na výzdobu se s Vámi rozloučím. A příště Vám ukážu zase nějaké zajímavé místo, které jsem během letošního léta a podzimu navštívil. Do té doby ahoj.

I visited Prague some years ago and in pretty sure I visited this place too. Good photos and you remind me some good memories of my old trip in Prague. 😍

It's nice to bring back memories to someone. Have a nice day.

Valdštejnská zahrada must be a special place to relax between art and nature, especially with the free peacocks and baroque fountains. Thank you for sharing this wonderful glimpse! 🌿💙

It is one of relatively hidden gems of Prague.

It is a beautiful garden
