Prague, where a wall isn't just a wall

 


If you dig old fortifications of any kind, then there are parts of Prague you certainly shouldn't miss. One of my favorite areas of Prague is just above Strahov Monastery. There's an enormous wall here that runs up the back of Petrin hill with a variety of other brick walls connecting nearby. At times, parts of the wall seem out of place especially near the huge Strahov Stadium. But this is Prague where incredibly tall brick walls aren't so unusual.

Just imagine, how many bricks are just in this one photo. And, were those handmade?!
