Franciscan Gardens, Prague

A modern garden on the site of an old Franciscan monastery. The design is fresh, colourful and appropriate to its use as a public garden. Prague's Franciscan monastery was used as a police station during the communist era but is now a monastery once more. Part of the monastic estate is now a public garden, designed as modern interpretation of a monastic garden. It is a pleasant retreat from the tourist bustle of Prague's streets.
