The Sct. George Basilika and Golden Lane

 

Two different sights from the castle area. Firstly, the beautiful Sct. George Basilika and secondly, the small cozy, but very turistry Golden Lane.
Not sure what went wrong with the second scan. Have tried to get it to look better but for some reason, it just won't.

  Page 1: This was our first stop in the castle area. The church exterior and interior was not at all coordinating - the beautiful red and white exterior was early baroque but contains the czech republic's best preserved roman church. What's left now is mostly the result of a restuaration process made in 1887-1908.
  Page 2: From the basilika we went to Golden Lane - Golden Lane is a small cozy street with buildings from the 16th century. Originally they were used for the castle sharpshooters and later gold smiths. For a period of time, artists lived her - among others, Kafka lived her in no. 22 1916-1917 - today it's a turist trap with small stores in all the houses. Many, many, many stores - which all sells crappy stuff. Also there was a mility museum with armor and weapon which Peder thought very interesting... But if it weren't for all the tourists and all the lousy stores, it would be a very nice place!

  Side 1: Dette var vores første stop på slotsområdet. Kirkens ydre- og inderside var slet ikke i overensstemmelse – den flotte røde og hvide yderside er i tidlig barok, men indeholder den tjekkiske republiks bedst bevarede romanske kirke. Hvad der er tilbage nu, er mest resultatet af restaureringer fra 1887-1908.
  Side 2: Fra basilikaen gik vi til Golden Lane – Golden Lane er en lille hyggelig gade med huse fra det 16. århundrede. Oprindeligt blev de benyttet af slottets skarpskytter og senere af guldsmede. Der har også i en periode boet kunstnere her – bl.a. har Kafka boet her i nr. 22 fra 1916-1917 – i dag er det en turistfælde med små butikker i alle husene. Mange, mange, mange butikker – der alle sælger skod-ting. Der er også et militær-museum med rustninger og våben, som Peder syntes var meget spændende… Men hvis det ikke var for alle turisterne og alle de dårlige butikker, ville det være et super hyggeligt sted!
