Just a short walk from Hradcanske Square is Loreta Square, a significant pilgrimage of the Christian world. Prague Loreta was built in the baroque style in 1626 - 1750 (founded by Benigna Katerina Lobkowicz). Loreta was designed as a replica of the supposed Santa Case. Legend tells us that Santa Casa was carried by angels to the Italian town of Loreto as the Turks were advancing on Nazareth. The famous chime, which contains 27 Loreta hand bells, is located in the tower and plays Our Lady's song "We Greet You A Thousand Times". The Loreta treasure includes the valuable diamond monstrance which is decorated with 6222 diamonds and is the most attractive piece in the exhibition. Just behind Loreta is the Church of the Nativity of Our Lord built in 1737. At the corner of the courtyard you can find the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrow. Worth seeing here is the treasury on the first floor, most amazing is the Prague Sun (Prazske slunce) made of solid silver and gold and studded with 6222 diamonds (90cm tall). Location : Loretanske namesti 7 (take tram 22 or 23). Admission is 90CZK. Open daily from 9.15am - 12.15 pm and from 1pm - 4.30pm. |

TAXI Unfortunately Prague still has one of the worst taxi drivers in the world when it comes to overcharging.
It’s a standard warning in any Prague guide book. And as showed in the study foreigner tourists are more likely to be rip off then not (about 63% when taking taxi off the street and 21% when booking over phone). We provide airport and taxi service in Prague with honest and reliable English speaking drivers.
