[🇨🇿Czech Republic] A secret archive I discovered in Prague

📍Strahov Monastery (Prague) Strahov Monastery is located on a quiet hill in the depths of Prague Castle. This is not just a monastery, but a place that can be called a **sanctuary of knowledge**. In the baroque library, manuscripts, astronomy books, philosophical books, and knowledge from all over the world that have been piled up over the years still live quietly. The frescoes on the ceiling are like a story that connects heaven and earth. When the sunlight gently shines through the stained glass, the beauty is breathtaking. A quiet and introspective time that is a little different from the glamor of a tourist destination. There are certainly traces of people's search for knowledge left here. High above Prague, far from the noise of tourists, it’s a place where silence once held hands with knowledge. Strahov Monastery. A Baroque sanctuary where ancient books, celestial globes, and sacred ceilings whisper stories older than time. Every carving, every shaft of soft light, feels like a gentle invitation to pause and think. This isn’t just a library. It’s a museum of thought. A space not for reading, but for remembering what it means to seek meaning. 📚Recommended points ・The Philosophical Room with beautiful ceiling paintings and wooden decorations ・A historical collection of Latin manuscripts, celestial globes, etc. ・The brewery (Strahov Brewery) on the monastery grounds is also popular! If you get a little tired, take a break at the terrace cafe behind the monastery while looking at the cityscape of Prague. ⸻ 🕰 Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 daily (with lunch break) 🎫 Admission fee: Separate fees for the library and exhibition room. Additional fee required for photography. 📍Access: About 15 minutes walk from Prague Castle. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as the route goes up a hill. ⸻ "A place to lose track of time" Heartily recommended for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of tourism and experience a quieter side of Prague. #StrahovMonastery #StrahovMonastery #PragueTrip #TravelOfKnowledge #LibraryTour #BeautyOfCentralEurope #Prague #TravelingLibraries #LibrariesOfTheWorld #BeautifulLibraries #QuietTime #EuropeTrip #PragueCastle #Prague
