<p>At the top of Malostranské Square, in front of the Church of St Nicholas, the beautiful monument of The Trinity Column is situated. The column was built in 1715 to commemorate the terrible plague which hit Prague in 1713-14 and was made by sculptor František Herstorfer according to a design by Giovanni Batista Alliprandi. The column is 20m high and decorated with a statue of the Holy Trinity and the Czech patron saints. Three fountains around the column symbolise the sources of life, mercy and salvation.</p>

<p><b>Petřínská rozhledna</b> 17/02/2026 12h08<br />
Right below the gardens around the Petřínská rozhledna (Petřín Lookout Tower) with in the middle the Katedrální chrám sv. Vavřince (Cathedral of Saint Lawrence). In the distance over the Vltava river the new town (Nové Město). Try to spot the Tančící dům (Dancing house). <br />
<br />
<u>Petřín Tower</u><br />
The Petřín Lookout Tower (Czech: Petřínská rozhledna) is a steel-framework tower 63.5 metres tall on Petřín Hill in Prague, built in 1891. It resembles the Eiffel Tower and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower. Today the tower is a major tourist attraction.                       <br />
<br />
The Petřín Hill is roughly a half-hour walk up paths and the tower is also quite an arduous climb; however, the hill is served by a frequent Petřín funicular and the tower has an elevator for elderly and disabled people. In 2014 the tower was visited by more than 557,000 visitors, with foreigners accounting for over 70% of said visitors.<br />
<br />
The two observation platforms are accessible via 299 stairs in sections of 13 per flight running around the inside of the structure. A pair of staircases form a double-helix structure allowing visitors travelling up and down concurrently.<br />
<br />
Petřín Lookout Tower is often described a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower, which is 328m tall. In contrast to the Eiffel Tower, Petřín Lookout Tower has an octagonal, not square, cross-section. Further, it does not stand, as does the Eiffel Tower, on four columns of lattice steel. The whole area under its legs is covered with the entrance hall.<br />

<p>The statue inside the St. Nicholas Church in Prague is of Saint Cyril of Alexandria, one of the four Latin Doctors of the Church depicted around the dome. The sculpture, created by Ignaz Franz Platzer, depicts St. Cyril triumphantly using his pastoral staff to strike down the heretic Nestorius, who is represented as a small figure at his feet<br />
  The artwork is a strong representation of the Catholic Church's dominance over perceived heresy during the Baroque period. St. Cyril (d. 444) was a central figure at the Council of Ephesus in 431, where he defended the belief that Christ was both fully human and fully divine, countering the teachings of Nestorius.</p>
