Bright Lavender* and apple blossoms



Found in the Franciscan Garden in the heart of Prague.

Situated between Václavské náměstí and Jungmannovo Square, is the tranquil and picturesque Franciscan Garden with rows of white benches paralleling its walkways, numerous apple trees, a couple fountains, ivy covered walls, rose trellis', pretty flower and herb beds and a children’s corner, all just a few steps away from the busiest streets of Prague.

You will find a mixture of people there at any time of the day; eating their lunch, enjoying an ice cream cone, reading, strolling the baby carriages or just sitting in the sun. A total oasis of calm.

It was built in 1348. The Franciscans took ownership in 1604.

* or maybe its not Lavender, but the color IS. ;-)
