Prague Mayor Wants to Make Bohemian Crown Jewels Available to Public

St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle, the seat of Czech kings, holds a priceless treasure: the Bohemian crown jewels which were used in the coronations of the country’s monarchs. The crown jewels, including a crown, orb, and scepter, are kept in a vault in St Vitus’ Cathedral. The chamber has seven locks, and seven significant Czech figures including President Miloš Zeman hold the keys. The other key holders are the prime minister, the Prague archbishop, the chairman of the House of Deputies, the chairman of the Senate, the dean of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Vitus’ Cathedral and the mayor of Prague. “For four years, this state treasure has been hidden from public view. And that’s a shame. As one of the seven keymen, I, therefore, propose the display of jewels. Our protocol department is already trying to arrange a possible meeting with the Castle,” said Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib. The crown jewels were originally held at Karlštejn Castle. Since 1791 they have been kept in St Vitus’ Cathedral at Prague Castle. The crown was made for the coronation of Charles IV in 1347 and is the fourth-oldest in Europe. The crown is made from 22-carat gold with 19 sapphires, 30...

What Type of Bike to Choose for Prague and Surrounding

You won’t see many Amsterdam-style bikes in the streets of Prague nor a lot of fixed gear bikes. What can be a perfect bike to cities like Amsterdam or Copenhagen will most likely not be the best bike for Prague. Prague is fairly hilly. There are plenty of cobblestones, which especially in the old town are far from smooth. That, together with the tram lines are factors you should consider while choosing your new bike.  During the communist era, the only bikes you could get were road or city bikes. In the early 90s Czech brand Author saw potential in the off-road market. They brought mountain bikes to the market with which they dominated the market in the 90s and early 2000s. That’s one of the reasons Czechs love mountain biking. If you’d gone to a bike shop a few years ago, chances are, you’d be leaving with a mountain bike. But the times are changing, you’ll see a lot more people getting into the road and gravel biking. Especially in the last two years.  So what is the best bike for you? First and foremost, it’s important to consider what are your expectations from the bike. Is your bike...

Prague’s Church Night Lets You See Inside 150 Sacred Spaces

Next Friday, Jun 10, the Night of Churches will be taking place. In Prague alone, more than 15o sacred places will be open to the public where visitors can take guided tours and attend concerts and lectures. It is also a unique opportunity to see otherwise inaccessible places such as crypts or church towers. When the Church Night was established in 2009, only 25 churches throughout the Czech Republic took part in it. 14 years later, 154 of them will open in Prague alone, and 1678 throughout the entire Czech Republic. Varied program There are two main topics of this year’s program: glass and a reminder of Jan Amos Comenius. “The UN has declared 2022, among other things, the Year of Glass, and the sacral architecture of our country provides many interesting artifacts made of glass. Whether in the form of stained glass or liturgical dishes. In the Archdiocese of Prague, we can find stained glass windows from the Gothic period to the most modern period. The second topic will be a reminder of Jan Amos Komenský, 430 years after his birth this year,” said Michal Němeček, director of the pastoral center of the Prague Archbishopric. Like every year, this...

Prague Demands Relocation of Refugees to Other Regions

Even though the number of Ukrainian refugees registering with Czech immigration police or requesting temporary protection is falling, some regions are overburdened. The number of temporary protection visas issued by the Czech Republic to Ukrainian refugees keeps dropping as Czechia issued 340 on Saturday, 142 fewer than a week ago. In total, Czechia has issued 364,431 since Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February, the interior ministry tweeted on Sunday. However, some refugees are already leaving Czechia as about 300,000 are currently staying in the country, Interior Minister Vit Rakušan (STAN) told the media last week. Rakušan estimates that of the approximately 50,000 refugees who have already left the Czech Republic, around half have returned to Ukraine, and half have continued to other countries, mostly Germany. So far, 280,927 refugees from Ukraine have registered with the Czech immigration police, 1,044 on Saturday alone. The duty to report to the immigration police does not apply to minors under 15, who make up about 30% of the incoming refugees. Regional refugee assistance centres have been operating all over the country, offering aid with registration, accommodation, personal documents, job mediation and insurance to Ukrainians. Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) announced on Wednesday...

New Memorial prague Jewish Gravestones

Prague Will Have a New Memorial Built With Jewish Gravestones

The Czech sculptor Jaroslav Róna will create a new memorial from the cut Jewish gravestones, which have been part of the paving on Wenceslas Square in Prague for decades. The Jewish community in Prague is launching a crowdfunding campaign to build the memorial, stated in a press release Petra Schwarz Koutská of the Jewish community. The memorial will be placed close to the Jewish cemetery not too far from the Žižkov TV Tower in Mahlerovy sady. For many years, the Jewish community in Prague drew attention to the origin of the paving in the lower part of Wenceslas Square. In 2020, dozens of paving stones made from Jewish headstones have been found during redevelopment work, confirming speculation that the former communist regime raided synagogues and graveyards for building materials. The names of the dead are unidentifiable because the headstones have been broken to form cobblestones. One person appears to have died in 1877, when Prague was part of the Habsburg empire, while the most recent death is shown to have happened in the 1970s, during the height of communism. The stones appear to have been taken from different cemeteries. Thanks to a memorandum signed by Prague and the Technical Administration of...

Drugs and Aliens. “Heroin Crystal” Exhibition in Prague Commemorates Czech Art in the 90’s

The enduring appeal and attractiveness of the “golden nineties”, which seem to have kept the professional and wider cultural public, movers and shakers, and observers of the art scene interested to this day, is one of the reasons for creating the Heroin Crystal exhibition project. As both a participant and witness, Olga Malá initiated, therefore, the Heroin Crystal exhibition, which maps the activities of the Prague City Gallery associated with artists of the 1990s generation in the years 1994–2002. The exhibition is running until August 28th, 2022. The period the exhibition focuses on is defined at the beginning of 1994, the first year of the Zvon ’94 Biennial of Young Art and at the end by its “institutional conclusion” in 2002, which saw the end of the long-term exhibition of artists of the 1990s generation, Contemporary Collection – Czech Art in the ’90s, that was featured in the basement of the Golden Ring House for four years (1998–2002). At the same time, it is clear that the label “institutional conclusion” of the period needs to be understood only as a tentative term because the Prague City Gallery’s cooperation with artists of this generation has never been actually interrupted and continues...

The Amateur Restoration of the Prague’s Astronomical Clock

The 15th-century astronomical clock is at the centre of an embarrassing row amid claims that an artist endowed it with likenesses of his friends and acquaintances in an expensive restoration project, possibly as a joke. The unveiling of the reconstructed Old Town Clock took place in 2018 but it has only now come to light that the copy of Josef Mánes’ calendar, is a far cry from the original. According to Milan Patka from the Club for Old Prague, some of the figures on the calendar have changed dramatically. Now the artwork has been engulfed in controversy after a local heritage preservation group alleged that its painter, Stanislav Jirčík, had deviated from the spirit and detail of Mánes’ painting. Discrepancies that initially passed unnoticed were belatedly brought to light after a member of the Club for Old Prague lodged a complaint with the Czech culture ministry, which has now launched an investigation. In one depiction, intended to represent Virgo, the original of a girl with red hair and a distinctive ribbon is replaced with a middle-aged, modern-looking woman with grey or highlighted hair and an earring. In another instance, a smiling female Aquarius has been transformed into a man with...

A fire broke out Wednesday evening at a nursing home that takes care of people suffering from Alzheimer disease in the Czech Republic, injuring more than 50. The regional rescue service said ladders were used to evacuate 56 patients from the home in Roztoky, a town just north of Prague.
