Pilgrimage site located in the Castle District of Prague (Hradcany). The facade features beautiful baroque architecture, and the clock tower is known for its carillon that plays regularly throughout the day. Inside it is very peaceful and there is a chapel and a museum in the cloisters. However, the reason this is a pilgrim site is the presence of the biggest and most famous copy of Santa Casa. The Sata Casa is the place in Nazareth where the Archangel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. It is also where the Holy Family stayed after their return from Egypt and Mary lived there years afterward. It is said that angels miraculously brought the Santa Casa to the small town of Loreto in Italy in 1295. It was actually an Italian family named "Angeli" who arranged to move the house piece by piece to Italy. I'm not sure what the allure of seeing a copy of this holy site is but if you're into that sort of thing then this would be a special place to visit. However, I would suggest Loreto Praha should be on your B list of things to experience while in Prague, but certainly worth seeing if you are near the Castle District and you have extra time. It costs 210 CZK to enter but an extra 100 CZK if you want to take photos of the Santa Casa. Tram 22 from Mala Strana or even from New Town near Wenceslas Square is an excellent way to get up to the Castle District.

One of the highlights of our visit to Prague. Hardly anyone else there - had the place to ourselves. It's a self-guided visit with an easy to follow route around the buildings. The Casa is like the 'Tardis' - not what you'd expect inside when viewed from the outside. The Treasury is stunning with beautiful pieces to see. It's no more than a ten minute walk from Prague Castle and well worth a slight detour.

It is a must to see place if visit Prague. I recommend to rent the audio your device if u are not going in the guide tour. Not need reservation, no lines, actually it was almost empty. You can access the church in the train avoiding the long climbing walk. The train system is very efficient and cheap. Not worries about tickets, you can buy it once you are inside the train.

Wasn't expecting much from this place, but it's stunning from start to finish. The exterior is lovely, with little statues all outside the church. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and explained the layout of the grounds. The chapel itself is also beautiful, and there are exhibits on the top floor of reliquaries and other interesting items. Would definitely recommend!
