Near the left bank of the Vltava River and in close proximity to the end of Charles Bridge, one of Prague’s most remarkable gardens has been preserved thanks to a confluence of many circumstances.
The former monastery garden – Vojanovy sady, named after the important Czech theatre actor Eduard Vojanov (1853-1920), creates a special enclave in the middle of the capital Prague, designed for stopping, sitting quietly, walking or meeting. It is strange how, even today, the massive early Baroque walls, featuring only simple decorations, isolate the garden space from the busy and restless city centre and evoke in us the need for contemplation or meditation. The perceptive viewer feels the original genius loci of the monastery environment, which at some moments evokes the desired silentium, i.e. sacred silence. The original founders of this garden, the sisters of the Order of the Barefoot Carmelites, were promised this.
