A Little History
Six words or six centuries — the story first.
Designed around 1720 by František Maxmilián Kaňka with statues by Matthias Braun, this terraced baroque garden hides behind an ordinary Malá Strana doorway — one of the finest of its kind in Europe.
Why It's Romantic
The atmosphere you're proposing into.
Climbing the terraces feels like a secret unfolding: parterres, frescoed sala terrena, and at the top a sudden view over red rooftops to the castle and St Nicholas' dome. Few tourists ever find it.
