Petřín skrývá mnohá tajemství. Co jste o něm nejspíš netušili?

We decided to dedicate the next part of our series Living Prague to Petřín. A place you've always thought you knew well. But we will be happy to convince you otherwise! For example, did you know that… … The hill was named Petřín after the stone that was once mined here which is called "petrus" in Latin? After all, the first churches at Prague Castle or Judith's Bridge were built from the local sandstone. … The hill is shrouded in a number of legends? One of Petrin's legends says that there was a cult place where burnt offerings were made, or that looking at the local flames foretold the future. In fact, iron was melted in the furnaces here… … Until the 14th century, there was a Prague execution ground on Petřín, where crimes against the state were punished? It stood on the site of today's Church of St. Lawrence. … Should the local Hungry Wall strengthen Prague's defenses? According to legend, Charles IV. decided to build it to give work to people living in poverty - that's why it later got the name Hungry. It is said that the emperor himself took part in the construction, disguised as a worker. …. There is a large bioenergy center in Prague in the Petřín area? Here you will find a litho-puncture stele, which, like the acupuncture needle, helps to restore energy in nature. Thanks to her, visitors to Petřín can draw positive energy here.
