The Loreta church bells are ringing. But they are not just ringing, they are playing a song. The Marian song. So lovely, that I wait around for it. The performance goes on every hour ( 9am - 6pm ). The famous chime of the bells is part of my childhood memories.. Miraculously, they chimed even during the communist era, when I Iived in Prague. The small bells are located in the tall clock tower and are original. 27 of them are connected to the clock. It works the same way today, as when it was first created. The 6,222 diamond monstrance on display is called Prague Sun. It is sure to dazzle. There are many other valuable artworks to be seen. I enjoy the peace and quiet , the tranquility of the serene courtyard. Taking a tram to Pohorelec is an easy way to Loretanske Namesti . Walking down the hill from there is also an easy way getting to the Castle. We were staying in Hotel Savoy , close by to the church, for the first part of our stay in Prague. That made it very easy to spend more time in the Castle area that week. Our month long visit in Prague was pre - Covid. Prague was still full of tourists. I am very sorry to read, that the church is experiencing hard times now. After all those years. It is heartbreaking ! I hope and pray that the current situation gets better soon. Hoping, my husband and I will be able to return, once again .... Growing up on Mala Strana, Sunday's visits here with my Dad, are still remembered fondly. Very special part of Prague , indeed .... Till next time, Dekuji a Nashledanou....

Our hotel was near Vyshehrad, so we visited this place, which is a castle with nice church, beautiful park without crowds and amazing views on Vltava river and Prague itself.

National Monument at Vitkov

Under the name National Liberation Memorial, the memorial was built in the years 1928–1938 in honour of the Czechoslovak legionaries; it was re-built and extended after the end of the WW2 in order to commemorate the second – anti-Nazi resistance. After 1948, it was used to promote national ideology and regime. Prominent representatives of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia were buried here. The mausoleum of Klement Gottwald was established here in 1953. The Memorial slowly started to be forgotten. After 1989, all of the remains buried here were taken away, however, for a long time particular utilisation was a subject of discussion. In 2001, the Vítkov National Memorial became part of a government resolution on rehabilitation and reconstruction of some memorials related to Czechoslovak history of the 20th century.

Statue of Franz Kafka

The eleven-metre-high statue is a 21st-century technical marvel of Prague. Forty-two moving panels form the face of the great Czech writer Franz Kafka. The statue by David Cerny stands at the Quadrio shopping centre and combines art with modern technologies and the traditional "golden hands" of Czech craftsmen. Watch the Metamorphosis, wait for the right alignment of the panels and discover Kafka!
