Růžový sad, Rose garden in Hradčany, Czech Republic
The garden spans 5.6 hectares at the summit of Petřín Hill, bordered by a 17th-century Baroque fortification wall and containing 8,000 rose specimens.
The area transformed from military land to a garden between 1932 and 1934, following designs by architect J. Kumpán with three distinct sections for rose cultivation.
Bronze sculptures enhance the garden space, including works by Josef Mařatka and a modern sundial created by Pavel Vilímek near the Štefánik observatory.
Concrete paths guide visitors through different sections, including a children's playground, picnic areas, and multiple viewing points across the garden layout.
The garden features a sculptural arrangement named 'Sense and Sensibility' by Ladislav Šaloun, complemented by blue Nepeta flowers among the rose displays.

Prague contains numerous historical sites beyond the main tourist areas. The Vyšehrad fortress stands above the Vltava River with Gothic and Baroque architecture. The Vrtba Garden displays terraced landscaping from the 18th century. The Strahov Monastery holds medieval manuscripts in its libraries. Modern culture thrives at Kasárna Karlín, a former military base. Gardens like Wallenstein and Kinský offer green spaces with statues and ponds. Religious buildings include the modernist St. Wenceslas Church in Vršovice and the Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn.
