Overview
Vojanovy sady offers a distinct, quiet experience as the oldest partially preserved garden in Prague. With origins tracing back to a 1248 monastery, the site retains a unique, quiet atmosphere that feels separate from the surrounding city activity. Visitors can explore historic features such as the 17th-century chapel of St. Elijah, known for its unusual stalactite interior, and view a successfully restored frescoed sundial. The grounds include a peaceful small lake, mature trees for shade, and an elevated observation terrace lined with rose pergolas. Named to honor the Czech actor Eduard Vojan, this 2.4-hectare space serves as a calm retreat for those looking to balance their sightseeing with a moment of historical reflection.
