You will learn about the laws of a city that has already fallen into oblivion. What does the statue of Bruncvík on the Charles Bridge have in common with the Old Town Weir? Why does the bridge gate between the Malostra bridge towers not point towards the Charles Bridge, but somehow with a sledgehammer. Where are the planks from the gallows of 27 Czech gentlemen? To this day, a staircase in a Prague hospital is carved out of them and the hospital staff uses it, not knowing that they are covered in the blood of a terrible execution from the 17th century. You will also learn what is left of Judith's ancient place and also that it is still possible to walk around it today. You will learn to adjust your watch according to the Prague meridian and we will tell you about the modern miracle of the return of two lamps to the balcony of the house At the image of the Virgin Mary in Kampa. We will show you Maria Electa from Jesus, who sits mummified in a golden showcase of a Prague church and is watched by unsuspecting believers.
