When you walk from Malostranské náměstí (Karmelitská Street), you go past the Palace of Earls from Vrtba. The unobtrusive gate and passageway hide an incredible jewel – the most beautiful Baroque garden in Lesser Town (Malá Strana).
The Vrtba Garden is one of the Baroque gardens that complete the beauty of Petřín. It consists of terraces at three height levels that are connected by wide staircases. The garden has an area of 0.31 hectares and the highest point is 212 m above sea level. It is one of the most beautiful gardens of this kind north of the Alps. That‘s why it is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is accessible from Karmelitská Street.
Atlas holding the Earth guards the entrance to the garden, in the bottom section there is a sala terrena decorated with frescoes and a lovely small pool with a statue of putto. We ascent the stone staircase and admire the romantic nooks, the ornamental decoration, the statues of the ancient gods and the stone vases; and at the vantage point, the highest point of the garden, we hold our breath while we observe the beauty of Prague.
The fairy-tale environment enchants with beautiful flower beds, antique sculptures, an aviary, fountains, a vantage point and the studio of Mikoláš Aleš. The Vrtba Garden offers a beautiful view of the Prague Castle and the roofs of the houses of Lesser Town (Malá Strana).
