Metro stations in Prague have not only pure "transportation" function but also some of them serves to higher urbanistic idea. The Malostranská ("Lesser Town") station is the best example of that type of station. Situated directly under Prague Castle is one of the best waypoints for tourists planning visit of the Castle hill. Above-ground part of the station is incorporated into Baroque space of Wallenstein's riding-hall and creates a small garden where Riding-hall is its south side and station is its east side. Garden is surrounded by original wall with two Baroque gates.

In the middle of the garden stays modern basin-fountain with twelve stainless-steell ball-like water jets from architects Zdenek Drobný and Otakar Kuca. Fountain together with redesigned garden and metro station were built in 1978.
