Chotkovy sady, Public park and cultural monument in Hradčany, Prague, Czech Republic
The 3.7-hectare garden features over 55 tree species and walking paths beneath the Summer Palace of Queen Anne in Prague.
The land transformed from 14th-century vineyards and pastures into Prague's first public park, established by Count Karel Chotek in 1832.
The garden includes a marble cave monument dedicated to poet Julius Zeyer, displaying statues of characters from his literary works.
The park connects to Letná Gardens via a footbridge designed by architect Bořek Šípek, offering direct access between these green spaces.
A memorial stone from 1841 at the entrance from Chotek Road marks the official naming of both the road and gardens after Count Chotek.
