Vrtba Garden

Though the palace has undergone extensive reconstructions in the succeeding centuries, the garden retained its Baroque features and the original statuary and sculptural decor by Matyáš Bernard Braun.

In addition, the fresco interiors of the Sala Terrena that links palace and garden, executed by Václav Vavřinec Reiner, have also survived.

Facing the Sala Terrena across a central pool is a matching former aviary.

[2] Between 1990 and 1998 the Vrtba Garden underwent structural conservation and extensive replanting and was reopened for public in June 1998.

Today the garden is entered from the base, through a discreet gate in Karmelitská Street.
