    Wow, wow, wow!
    The Loreta is one of the most spectacular, impressive, and monumental sites in Prague! It contains the Santa Casa which is a copy of the original one that was in Nazareth. The original Santa Casa was moved to San Francis of Assisi in Italy and several copies were built in different cities and towns in Europe. The Loreta complex in Prague is however, the most impressive Santa Casa in the world! The Santa Casa is the place where the Archangel Gabriel announced to Virgin Mary that she will be the Mother of Jesus Christ.

    The Loreta was built to recover the Catholic faith that was lost during the 30 year old war. The Santa Casa is in the middle of a Baroque church complex and its wall depicts the life of Virgin Mary. The house is humble as the original one was. However, it connects with the very impressive, very beautiful Church of the Nativity! There are several chapels located around the Santa Casa and they are very interesting; pay attention to the dramatic chapel of the Lady of Sorrows, the chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua, and the chapel of the Holy Road! The chapels are separated by a gallery of windows that depicts the life of several saints. There is excellent written information on the life of the Saints. The treasury is spectacular; it contains the impressive gold, plated, diamond encrusted Prague sun monstrance. The monstrance has an impressive design and contains 6222 diamonds. The bell tower is lovely; a beautiful song is played every hour and this is magical!

    You have to pay a ticket of approximately 10 dollars to visit the Loretta. I also recommend the audio guide (English, Spanish); it is very good and it costs approximately 5 dollars. I also recommend paying for the photography permit; the pictures of the treasury are impressive.

    Best aspects: Unique, good explanations, quiet, relaxing, and the best of all: "NO TOURS". The Loreta is two blocks up from the castle. It is very easy to reach. The façade is lovely.

    Odd find
    Prague is a great city to visit with its lovely buildings , bars etc . It also has dotted through out a number of quirky and surprising attention catchers . We found the man and woman with the umbrellas by chance and after that we learned to look up as well as ahead because you didn’t know what is round the corner and the hanging man is just one of them . I’m sure there is a story behind it and it is one I will investigate .

    Great monument of religious history in the heart of the Old Town Square.
    It is a rather large monument / statue in the old town square, it represents Jan Hus who was a Czech theologian and philosopher and a church reformer and the inspiration for Hussitism. He was executed in 1415 due to his beliefs. The monument itself is done by L.Saloun ,it shows Hus being martyred above a burning stake.
    It is an imposing and important work and lets you learn the religious history of the old city. You cannot miss it when in the Old Square.

    Sadness amidst the festivities
    My twin brother Stephen and I were enjoying hot wines in the wonderful Wenceslas Square Christmas Market ,a wonderful and magical Christmas market ,nothing but happy faces ,loved it but in the middle of the Christmas market was the Jan Palach Memorial.
    For anyone not familiar with Jan Palach ,he was the young student who sacrificed his life in 1969 in protest against the invasion of Czechoslavakia by communist forces ,it's a powerful memorial ,one of two on this most famous of squares ,if you're near Wenceslas Square it's a monument to most definitely check out.

    Very cool
    Pub and bar hopping around the wonderful and eclectic Zizkov District I passed ,well passed doesn't really describe viewing National Monument At Vitkov as this great equestrian statue towers over Zizkov District.
    A great statue ,this statue is in honour of Jan Zizka who defeated the Catholic forces who followed Sigismund in the Battle Of Vitkov in 1420,originally this monument was in honour of the fallen Czech legionaries who fell during World War One and has since became an iconic landmark in this district of the city.
    Well worth checking out if you're in the Zizkov District.

    Just a Great monument.
    Many monuments around the City. High up in a hill, overlooking the Plaza. Not to crowded, just across the National Museum . Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

    Babies with slot machine faces? A little weird but worth seeing if your in Kampa Park
    I wanted to have a look at these as there are a few David Cerny statues in and around Prague.
    They were a lot bigger than I thought they would be.
    I had to Google what the faces were on these statues and apparently they are slot machine faces, go figure.
    Still, they are odd and quirky and bit of fun to see if you are in the area. I did like everyone else and jumped on the back of one for a photo. Good fun.

    Distinction Landmark
    Our guide took us here and explained that the Metronome replaced a huge statue of Stalin. It was a pretty interesting story about Prague emerging from the world of communism.

    Very Kafkask
    It is big and very kafkask. You can read all kinds of things in to the statue and I like that. The area with all the synsgoges is allready interesting and the suroundings adds an extra layer to a statue allready filled with layers. It makes you reflect and I think that is very much in Kafkas spirit.

    Lovely memorial against the brutal hardship of communism.
    This is a stark reminder of the communist era in the Czech republic.
    Prague is a very fun and vibrant city but has some reminders of history that really make you think and reflect.
    The country was ruled under the strict communist regime for more that 40 years and this is a lovely reminder from Zoubek and captures the mood brilliantly.
    Well worth a look if your in the area.

    Lovely statue with amazing history on Karlov Most.
    As most posts will read from the research done, John Of Nepomuk was the confessor of the Queen Of Bohemia who refused to divulge secrets of the queen. On the behest of Wenceslas IV Of Bohemia, he was drowned in the Vltava River and is considered one of the first Martyrs. It is among one of the statues to grace the lovely Karlov Most / Charles bridge and looks lovely with its golden halo.
    A lot of tourists believe its good luck to touch to the statue and like the Trevii Fountain in Rome, it will bring you back to visit Prague again. If the research I did on it was correct, it was just a group of school kids attempting to clean it and made a shiny patch on it and then people started rubbing it for luck and a tradition was started, cant be 100% sure on this. Still, give it a rub if you like and I hope it brings you good luck and fortune.
