Today we will walk in Prague from the Vltava river along Národní street to
the secret garden. :) (Franciscan Gardens, Františkánská zahrada)

Národní, formerly Národní třída, is one of the important avenues in Prague, Czech Republic. It is placed on the boundary of New Town and Old Town, in the southwest direction from the city's center. This avenue connects Legion Bridge bridge with Jungmannovo náměstí. In medieval times, there were fortification walls.
On Friday, November 17, 1989, riot police violently suppressed a peaceful student demonstration, which is thought of as the initiation of the Velvet Revolution. Národní třída continued to be an eventful locale during the rest of the revolution.

This unique natural oasis in the city center is furnished with several benches, spanning metal arches laden with roses in the summer. Lawn areas are separated by low-yew hedges. The garden is completed with several exciting sculptures, fountains, a gazebo, a playground, fruit trees, and herb beds, which harken back to the former owners, the Carmelites and the Franciscans, who once grew herbs and spices here.
A small garden by the Church of Virgin Mary of the Snow between the squares Václavské náměstí and Jungmannovo náměstí has initially been a much greater medieval garden of the Carmelite Monastery after 1348 within the framework of the early development of the New Town (Nové město). Since 1604 it has already been the property of the Order of the Discalced Franciscans, who have restored it several times. The garden had a vital utility function with herbal, flower, and vegetable beds and fruit trees; the Franciscans even grew spices here. When the monastery and the neighboring church were plundered by the Prague scum and country robber gangs, it was re-established in the 18th century. The central pavilion was renewed with a ceiling decorated by frescoes realized by monk Benedict. There used to be a summer refectory in the western wing, and the monastery pharmacy and a well were trenched by the Northern wall. Later on, a decorative fountain was built with statues of the saints.
