Stations of the Cross at Petřín
Stations of the Cross at Petřín, Religious stations pathway in Malá Strana, Czech Republic.
Description
The Stations of the Cross at Petřín consist of fourteen chapels with sculptures distributed along a marked path. The route winds through the park grounds and connects each station into a continuous walking trail.
History
This religious pathway was established in the second half of the 19th century to create a place for spiritual reflection. It developed as part of a larger park that was built up in this area during that era.
Culture
The chapels along the path display religious scenes that visitors encounter while walking through the park. Their architecture shapes how the grounds look and blends prayer with a simple visit to green space.
Practical
The route is easy to reach on foot and can be explored at your own pace. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the path crosses park grounds with varying elevation.
Did you know?
Many visitors overlook that the chapels themselves display different architectural styles and are not uniform in design. This variety in how they look reflects different periods of construction and makes the route more interesting than first expected.
