Острів Кампа Camp Island

Rating 8110

This territory is separated from Malaya Strana by the ancient Chortivka canal, about 900 meters long. The name of the island is probably preserved from the Spanish soldiers who stood here in the 17th century camp (acampar in Spanish and means "camp"). Nearby is crowded with tourists Charles Bridge, and here is a completely different atmosphere. Nobody is in a hurry. The southern half of the island is occupied by a park. In the north - two parallel streets with numerous cafes, hotels and bars. The main building on the banks of the Vltava - Liechtenstein Palace. The building of the former mill is now a museum of modern art, which is called the "Camp Museum". Along the Vltava River there is a walking area with sculptures and art objects. There were years when the island was almost completely flooded by the Vltava. The memory of this - the marks on the support of Charles Bridge and the house next door.
