Loreta - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

omplex is the dominant structure of Loretánské Square. The picture was taken from the corner of the Cernín Palace (at the time of the taking of the picture the Franz Josef I Barracks). The construction of the Loreto took more than one hundred years (1626-1740). One of its architecturally interesting features is the symmetrical disposition of the six chapels on the corners and on the sides, as well as the Church of the Nativity in the rear wing, built in 1735 by K. I. Dientzenhofer. The famous chimes in the middle tower of the front wing were created in 1694 by the clockmaster P. Neumann. The front wing also houses a treasury containing, among other things, jewels, liturgical objects and the world-famous diamond monstrance. The whole area of the square was, at the time of taking the picture, not yet paved, but judging from the heaped blocks, the paving was just about to start.
