Snow is quite rare event in Prague, thats why the photographers trying to get there best with such opportunity and me is not an exclusion! As soon as I see the snow behind the window I immediately grabbed my camera and voila!
I named this series Snowy walk in Prague. Hope you enjoy this series as snow turned the ordinary things to fairytales..
The Prague Loreto is a remarkable Baroque historic monument, a place of pilgrimage with captivating history.

The legend says that Loreta (in Italian Santa Casa) was a house where St. Mary was living when the angel appeared to her. During the battles with Saracens (at the end of 13th century) this building was taken apart and transported over the Mediterranean Sea to Italy, to a small city called Loreto, where it was reconstructed. As you can imagine, it quickly became a popular pilgrimage site. The fame of Santa Casa reached its peak in the 16th century, when different renaissance copies of this building were built all across Europe. And that brings us to the story of Loreta in Prague.
Prague’s Loreta was built between 1626-1631. It took another forty years to build the surrounding cloisters, which were remodeled in the 18th century by probably the most famous baroque architect in Prague – Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.
