Capuchin Street by Jaroslav Setelik - Prague, Czech Republic - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

Capuchin Street in Hradcany in Prague connects Loretánské Square with Nový Svet Street. It is named after the oldest Capuchin monastery in Bohemia, founded in 1600.

The New World (Novy Svet) is one of the most beautiful places in Prague. It is situated near the Prague Castle. Mostly poor people had built their homes there in previous centuries and that´s why the houses are very small and picturesque and streets are very narrow. It was built between the 16 th and 18 th century and it gradually became a favourite place of artists, because of the romantic atmosphere and quietness that reigns there.
