The capital of the Czech Republic - the city of Prague is now considered one of the main places of pilgrimage for tourists from various countries. In fact, all this is no accident. Prague is considered one of the oldest cities in Europe. To be more precise, it was first mentioned in the 9th century. Based on this, we can say that many historical monuments of architecture, as well as natural beauties, have been collected here.
We all know from childhood from geography lessons that the capital of the Czech Republic has become famous throughout the world for such a landmark as Charles Bridge. But if you look at the city with a non-standard eye, you can find a considerable number of interesting, but not very popular sights.
If you buy a guide book upon arrival in the country, then, after digging well in it, you can find places that are not so famous in the world. We invite you to get acquainted at least in absentia with a few of them.
Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, which means that there are many different sculptures and monuments to famous people or characters. On Wenceslas Square is a monument to the famous Czech prince Vaclav. Naturally,that every tourist knows it, not to mention the locals. But few people know that the capital of the Czech Republic has a copy of this monument. If you go on a tour of the Lucerne Palace, you can see this parody of the original Prince Wenceslas. True, experienced people will notice the difference. It lies in the size of the monument. The original is somewhat larger than the copy created by David Cerny.
Prague, whose sights can be seen for ages, has another interesting and most importantly unusual sculpture. Anna Chromy has created a truly amazing work of art, the purpose of which is still being wondered by both tourists and locals. The monument is a faceless figure, which was installed on a special pedestal and covered with a cloak. This creation stands not far from the Estates Theater, and all because it marks Don Juan.
On this, the capital of the Czech Republic never ceases to amaze people who come to rest. Over the years, Prague's next unusual attraction has entertained and surprised residents of several American cities. But it was decided that now it was time to send her to Europe. The choice fell on the Czech Republic. This monument symbolizes a person who chooses between life and death. At a height of several meters
Sculptor David Cerny installs a special rod, on which he hangs a "man". When viewed from below, you might think that someone really decided to commit suicide.
Of course, unusual monuments and sculptures are very interesting, but don't forget about classical Prague. If you come to this country on vacation, be sure to walk along Charles Bridge, Old Town Square. Take a look at least with one eye at the chimes, which are called the Eagle, as well as the Tyn Church. In fact, all of the above sights of Prague are only a small part of what can be seen in this wonderful European country. The most important thing is to stock up on comfortable shoes for long walks, and then the magical Czech world will open before you.
