A Little History
Six words or six centuries — the story first.
The Loreta has drawn pilgrims since the 1620s to its Santa Casa shrine; its carillon of 27 bells has chimed over Hradčany since 1695. The cobbled squares around it belong to another century.
Why It's Romantic
The atmosphere you're proposing into.
Lamplit cobbles, monastery walls, the bells marking the hour — Hradčany at dusk is the Prague of old films. You can hear your own footsteps a five-minute walk from Prague Castle's gates.
