Prague - Royal Garden Kralovska Zahrada

The Royal Garden was built at the request of Habsburg Ferdinand I in 1534. This Renaissance garden also incorporated buildings including the Ball Game Pavilion, the Royal Summer House (and the Singing Fountain), and the Lion's Court, which were designed mainly for entertaining. Over the years the garden changed and exotic plants were added. Today the garden is a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque elements, and is laid out in an English style. The Royal Garden is a pleasant place to walk, particularly in the spring when it comes to life. There are good views to St Vitus Cathedral.
