Prague, Part 25: Prazky Hrad (Prague Castle) – II

2 June, 2010 by Adam R. Paul

Despite the throngs of visitors to the Prague Castle complex, if you go just a little ways away from the tourist attractions, many peaceful nooks and crannies await, and these were my favorite parts of the Castle, and of Prague generally.

Having already covered the sights of Prague Castle here, I will let the photos speak for themselves in this, the last post in my Prague series.

    Dear Adam,
    we just returned from Prague, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts here. I find your sense of humor quite in keeping with the beauty and oddness that we found in Prague! Did you happen to notice St. Nepomuk’s tongue on the platter held by an angel toward the top of his tomb? Creepy and beautiful at the same time!

    Brenda
