Surrounding Gardens Area


These appeared from the beginning of the last century on the site of the city walls and they border the old medieval city.

    Gardens Area...    

Today they are divided into several sections: 5th May, Safarik, Krizik, Kopecky, Smetana Gardens and Gardens of Petatricatniku.

From the mid-19th century, high-class buildings appeared around these gardens, thus creating an ostentatious circular avenue. Several monuments were placed here from the 1860s, these being the first public works of sculpture in this country.
