Vrtbovska Gardens

Down the street and around the corner from our hotel we found the Vrtbovska Gardens, built in 1715 for Jan Joseph the Earl of Vrtba, the highest chancellor of Prague Castle.


















The gardens are built on terraced floors which are connected by curved staircases which give views of the gardens below. The garden is also filled with statuary and urns.


















View from atop the terraces of the Vrtbovska Gardens. I love the curved building here. Way to build into the available space!
