In this video, we will walk at Hradčany! Hradčany is the district of Prague, the Czech Republic surrounding Prague Castle.

The Prague Castle is one of the biggest globally at about 570 meters (1,870 feet) in length and an average of about 130 meters (430 feet) wide. Its history stretches back to the 9th century. St Vitus Cathedral is located in the castle area.

Most of the district consists of noble historical palaces. Many other attractions for visitors: romantic nooks, peaceful places, and beautiful lookouts.

Hradčany was an independent borough until 1784 when the four separate boroughs formerly constituted Prague were proclaimed a single city. The other three were Malá Strana (German: Kleinseite, Lesser Quarter), Staré Město (German: Altstadt, Old Town) and Nové Město (German: Neustadt, New Town).

The Czernin Palace ( Černínský palác) is the largest of the baroque palaces of Prague, which has served as the offices of the Czechoslovak and later Czech foreign ministry since the 1930s. It was commissioned by the diplomat Humprecht Jan Černín z Chudenic, the Habsburg imperial ambassador to Venice and Rome, in the 1660s.

Loreta is a pilgrimage destination in Hradčany, Prague, Czech Republic. It consists of an abbey, the church of the Lord’s Birth, the Santa Casa, and a clock tower with a famous chime.

Construction started in 1626, and the Holy Hut was blessed on 25 March 1631. The architect was the Italian Giovanni Orsi, and the project was financed by Kateřina Benigna, a noblewoman of the Lobkowicz family. Fifty years later, the place of pilgrimage was surrounded by cloisters, to which an upper story was added after 1740 by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer.[1] The baroque facade was designed by the architects Christoph Dientzenhofer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and added in the 18th century.
The chapel is most known for its peal, heard since 15 August 1695. It was constructed in 1694 by watchmaker Peter Neumann from thirty smaller and larger bells.
Today the building also houses an extensive collection of liturgical tools, mainly monstrances. Exhibitions are occasionally held on the first floor of the cloister.
Neighbouring Loreta Square (Czech: Loretánské náměstí) is named after Loreta.
