Through the Gardens of Malá Strana: Baroque Beauty and Healing Tranquility
Kostel Panny Marie Vítězné a Pražské Jezulátko, Prague
A guided tour takes participants through two gardens in Malá Strana that blend historical architecture with an atmosphere of calm and contemplation.
The first stop is the Vrtba Garden, whose terraced layout was designed by František Maxmilián Kaňka. Visitors will see decorative sculptures by Matyas Bernard Braun, views over Prague, and learn the story of Jan Josef of Vrtba.
The second part of the tour leads to the Healing Garden of Saint Joseph. Participants will discover how this therapeutic garden came to be, and surrounded by fragrant herbs and the sound of a fountain, they will explore the history of this place.
