Reliéf lvů z bývalé Slepé brány barokních hradeb

The Reliéf lvů z bývalé Slepé brány are stone reliefs depicting two heraldic lions and fragments from the former city fortification, now integrated into the I.P. Pavlova metro station corridor. The reliefs stand as remnants of the baroque defensive walls that once enclosed Prague.

The lion reliefs originated from the Blind Gate, part of Prague's baroque defense system that protected the city until 1828. When the fortification walls were demolished, these sculptures were preserved and later incorporated into the metro station during construction.

The lion reliefs come from the gate of Prague's baroque fortifications and show the craftsmanship of past times. They stand today as evidence of how the city incorporated its historical material into modern structures.

The reliefs are accessible through the metro station passage and located near the Ječná and Sokolská street intersection. You can view them at any time during the station's operating hours.

The lion reliefs were originally part of a city gate and carry the heraldic symbols of Prague. Their rescue and reuse demonstrate how modern infrastructure can preserve layers of the city's past.
