3. The renovated Minorite Monastery is well worth a visit. The ticket has two parts.the monastery itself (and church) and an adjacent location with items from the collection and about the renovations.

4. St. Jodock’s Church with hospital was founded around 1330 by the Krumlov ruler Peter I of Rosenberg. The hospital provided basic medical care to the ill and poor inhabitants of the town. In the years 1594 - 1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominic Cometta, and, at the same time, a tower was erected next to it. The new church was consecrated to the Holy Trinity, and the Krumlov ruler Peter Vok of Rosenberg gave it to the Protestants living in Český Krumlov. The intention was finally abandoned and Peter Vok was buried in the family tomb in the monastery of Vyšší Brod. After his death the church was returned to the Catholics and re-consecrated to St. Jodock. In 1765 the church tower underwent a Baroque remodelling, yet as early as 1788, as part of reforms introduced by the Emperor and Bohemian King Joseph II, it was abolished and gradually rebuilt into a residential house. The hospital kept its function until 1922.

5. The narrow cobbled street is part of the old town and is lined with medieval houses. Nothing has changed here over time and a walk along the street is a great way to travel back in time to the medieval ages. It is a great way to relax and unwind.

6. Entrance is free and it is was very silent and serene during our visit. The inside is fairly dark, but it creates authentic atmosphere on how it must have felt when it was build. You can take great pictures from the back of the church.

   15 min

7. The building now houses the regional museum, which displays a very interesting mix of clothes, artifacts, and information on the surrounding area, spanning early, prehistoric periods through to the current, post-Communist era. The visit takes less than an hour, with the highlight being a wooden model of the old city in the 18th Century. This alone is worth the price of admission! The more modern history is less visually interesting, but tells a fascinating (to a history geek) tale of what went on in The region from the First World War through to present day. Well worth a visit.

   30 min

8. The small medieval square is surrounded by period buildings. The square is home to a simple Plague column, a fountain and the Town hall. The square surrounded by cafes and restaurants making it a great place to relax and unwind in a medieval setting.

About Praga

Praga innalza le sue guglie sulla Moldava, con il castello sulla collina, il ponte pieno di statue e un centro medievale rimasto quasi intatto.

Il Castello di Praga, uno dei più vasti complessi castellani al mondo, corona la collina di Hradčany, con la cattedrale di San Vito al centro e le minuscole case del Vicolo d'Oro nascoste dietro. Più in basso, i palazzi barocchi e i giardini a terrazze di Malá Strana scendono verso il Ponte Carlo, fiancheggiato da statue di santi e animato fin dall'alba.

Top-ranked sights in Praga: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
