Trznice Street - Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

Trznice Street is located in centre of Karlovy Vary. Castle Tower seated on a rock above Tržište Street is the last standing remnant of the original small Gothic castle, that was built upon the order of Emperor Charles IV probably around 1358. In 1766, after fire, the tower was complemented with an arcaded gallery, from which important visitors arriving to the town were greeted by trumpet horns. In 1911, a robust lift designed by Friedrich Ohmann, author of the Art Nouveau Castle Colonnade, was installed on the rock below the Castle Tower. Today there are exhibition rooms in the Castle Tower and historical underground rooms have been opened to the public.

In front of postcard is Holy Trinity Sculpture (Plague Column) (visit link) and behind the column you can see the Market Colonnade building. Its name is derived from the former market that used to be here (market mean 'trziste' in Czech). The colonnade was built in 1882-1883, and between 1991 and 1993, it underwent a significant reconstruction. It is a wooden structure designed by architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer.
