Valdštejnská zahrada, Baroque garden in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic.
Valdštejnská zahrada is a Baroque garden in Malá Strana featuring geometric flower beds, bronze fountains, and marble sculptures throughout its layout. At its heart stands the Sala Terrena pavilion, an ornate structure that anchors the space.
A powerful military commander created this garden in the 1620s, requiring the demolition of many houses and smaller green spaces on the site. The garden was built as part of a larger complex intended to display the owner's power and wealth.
The space is named after a powerful military leader and serves today as a venue for concerts and theater performances. Visitors can see classical frescoes in the Sala Terrena depicting scenes from ancient stories.
The garden is open during daytime hours and is easily reached on foot with multiple entrances from the main street. Paved paths wind through the space, though they can become slippery when wet, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
The artificial grotto wall hides human faces carved into its limestone formations, a detail many visitors miss on first glance. This reflects the era's fascination with hidden surprises and clever decoration concealed within garden design.

Prague brings together structures and public spaces from the Middle Ages to modern times. The historic center holds the Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, the castle on the hill, and Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River. Churches, monasteries, and palaces show Gothic arches, Baroque facades, and Art Nouveau decoration. Streets open onto quiet courtyards and busy passages, while riverside promenades invite walks along the water. Museums hold art from different centuries, technical collections, and memories of the 20th century. The Spanish Synagogue and other religious sites speak to the city's religious heritage. Theaters and concert halls continue a long cultural tradition. From the Petřín Lookout Tower, you see the rooftops and parks spread below, while gardens such as Wallenstein Garden offer green retreats. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, and walking remains the best way to discover the layers of history and daily life.
