A Virtual Visit To The City Of Prague

[vinay]

The Saint Nicholas Cathedral is a Baroque church in Prague. Built between 1704-1755 it was described as "the most impressive example of Prague Baroque" and "without doubt the greatest Baroque church in Prague". The belfry is directly connected with the church’s massive 70 meter high dome. With a great panoramic view, the belfry is unlike the church and was built in the Rococo style instead.



The Gothic Church of Our Lady in front of Týn is a dominant feature of the Old Town of Prague. It has been the main church of this part of the city since the 14th century. The church's towers are 80 meters (262ft) high and topped by four small spires.



Wallenstein Palace is the home of the Czech Senate. It was built in the Baroque style between the years 1623-1630 by Albrecht von Wallenstein. To make space for the palace, Wallenstein razed 26 houses, six gardens, and two brickworks at the site. Built to rival Prague Castle, its complex includes period gardens, the Avenue of Sculptures, stables and the large Riding School. In 1994, a film about the life of Beethoven was filmed in the gardens.



Rich in lavish garden, Prague enjoys plenty of green spots. Some have an entry fee but most of them are free and just as mesmerizing!
Letná Park is a large park on Letná hill, built on a plateau along the Vltava River.
