Sadová kolonáda

Sadová Colonnade is a 19th-century cast-iron colonnade in Dvořákovy sady gardens featuring connected arcades with classical architectural details. The structure creates covered walkways and spans through the park with a series of interconnected sections.

Built between 1880 and 1881 by architects Fellner and Helmer, the colonnade was constructed during Karlovy Vary's rise as a European spa resort. The structure reflects the city's efforts to expand its facilities for wealthy spa visitors during this period.

The colonnade serves as a gathering place where visitors and locals meet to enjoy art exhibitions, concerts, and community events. Its presence shapes how people experience and use the surrounding park throughout the year.

The covered walkways offer shelter from the weather as visitors explore the park and nearby mineral springs. The site is open and accessible, making it easy to stroll through at your own pace.

The 19th-century cast-iron structures have remarkably survived harsh weather and constant moisture changes from the nearby springs. This durability reflects the skilled craftsmanship of the era.
