Voyanov Gardens

Vojanovy sady, Vojanovy sady
Czech republic, Prague
Vojanovy Sady is one of the oldest parks in Prague, which is located in the central part of the Czech capital. The history of the gardens begins in the middle of the 13th century, when a luxurious garden was laid out around the residence of the Prague bishops. However, in 1419, during religious clashes, the building, along with the garden, were burned down. A century later, a monastery of the Order of Discalced Carmelites was built on this site, on the inner territory of which the nuns planted fruit trees. So a new one grew up in the place of the old one. In 1954, the gardens were named after Eduard Vojan, an outstanding Czech actor. From that moment they became available for visiting all comers. Today, the highlight of the gardens are peacocks, freely walking around the territory.

War Gardens is the oldest park in Prague. They were opened for visitors and given the name by which we know it now, in the middle of the last century. For those who are interested, you can find a long and interesting history of this park on the Internet. Well, I'm talking about the impression. I'm renting another place in Prague, right next to the tourist routes. It is difficult to guess that behind a high solid fence hides a beautiful oasis, where locals enjoy life slowly. I was in the summer, there are many fruit trees and, ripening on the branches, apples and pears provide comfort.
