[Prague Castle Royal Gardens | Hercules Fountain]

[Prague Castle Royal Garden | Hercules Fountain] A scene from a myth rests in a corner of the old castle. While enchanted by the splendor of Prague Castle, I suddenly headed towards the quiet garden── There stood a Baroque sculpture that seemed to stand still for a moment. The figure of Hercules subduing the three-headed guard dog Cerberus was powerful, yet somehow sad. This statue, created around 1670, stands quietly in a corner of the Royal Garden. The entire garden is an elegant space where Renaissance and Baroque styles are in harmony. The cute buildings with red roofs and arched decorations spread out in the background, creating an exquisite contrast with the majesty of the statue. It is especially recommended to visit in the morning when there are still few people. The soft light brings out the shadows of the sculpture, making you feel as if you have wandered into a scene from Greek mythology──. This is the perfect spot for those who want to spend a tranquil and lyrical time, different from the splendor of Prague Castle. ⸻ 📝Travel tips • 📍Location: Inside the Royal Garden at Prague Castle • 🚶Access: Pass through Matthias Gate in Prague Castle and walk about 10 minutes towards the garden • 📸Recommended time: Around 9:00-10:00 when the morning light is gentle • 🎨Highlights: Baroque sculpture depicting Hercules and Cerberus (by Jan Jiří Bendl) • 💡Admission to the Royal Garden is free◎ ⸻ 🏷️Hashtags #PragueTourism #PragueTrip #PragueCastle #RoyalGardens #EuropeTrip #CzechTourism #ArtTrip #MythicalLandscape #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
