<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/zephyrios/">Zéphyrios</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/zephyrios/55320651081/" title="Basilique Sainte Ludmila et son quartier / Bazilika sv. Ludmily a jeho okolí"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55320651081_9746a22ff6_m.jpg" width="135" height="240" alt="Basilique Sainte Ludmila et son quartier / Bazilika sv. Ludmily a jeho okolí" /></a></p> <p>Cette silhouette imposante qui surgit au-dessus du tramway, c'est la basilique Sainte-Ludmila, la fierté monumentale des Pragois du quartier de Vinohrady. Typique néogothique édifiée entre 1888 et 1893 sur la place Míru, elle fut construite en l'honneur de la sainte reine Ludmila, patronne de la Bohême. Avec ses deux tours de 60 mètres qui se dressent &quot;&quot;comme deux mains jointes à la prière&quot;&quot;, elle domine complètement le quartier de sa silhouette caractéristique.<br /> L'architecte Josef Mocker, celui-là même qui acheva la cathédrale Saint-Guy, fut choisi pour concevoir ce temple débutant sa construction en 1888. L'édifice imposant fut consacré le 8 octobre 1893 par l'archevêque de Prague, le cardinal Schönborn, devant plusieurs milliers de fidèles et représentants des églises et de l'État. Ce qui fascinait vraiment les habitants du quartier de Vinohrady de l'époque ? Le Spolek pro podporování stavby (l'association de financement) rassemblait près de 1000 membres pendant la construction, chacun documentant scrupuleusement sa contribution, jusqu'à chaque brique versée (du crowdfunding avant l'heure) !<br /> L'architecture s'inspire du strict style des églises de briques gothiques d'Allemagne du Nord, avec son imposante façade encadrée par un entrée monumentale surmontée d'amples marches de pierre. Le tympan du portail principal abrite une sculpture de Václav Myslbek montrant le Christ en tant que roi, entouré de saint Václav et sainte Ludmila agenouillés. L'intérieur ravit par ses vitraux colorés et notamment celui de sainte Ludmila conçu par Jaroslav Vodrážka, installé en 1950 après avoir remplacé l'original détruit pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.<br /> Avec le tramway qui passe juste devant, cette basilique devient un curieux contraste entre la foi monumentale et la vie urbaine quotidienne - deux mondes qui se croisent sur le passage, comme figés dans une tension permanente entre le sacré et le profane.<br /> <br /> Sources : <a href="https://prague.eu/cs/objevujte/kostel-sv-ludmily/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Site de la ville sur la basilique (Multi)</a> &amp;&amp; <a href="https://ludmilavinohrady.cz/bazilika/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Site officiel de la basilique (CZ)</a> &amp;&amp; <a href="https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazilika_svat%c3%a9_Ludmily" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipédia basilique (Multi)</a> &amp;&amp; <a href="https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/kostel-sv-ludmily-novogoticka-dominanta-vinohra" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Kudy z nudy (CZ)</a> &amp;&amp; <a href="https://encyklopedie.praha2.cz/stavba/513-bazilika-sv-ludmily" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Encyklopedie de Prague 2 (CZ)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/nuclearlakeside/">The LakeSide</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nuclearlakeside/55319819406/" title="Lasioglossum clypeare, f"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55319819406_28aa85dd94_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Lasioglossum clypeare, f" /></a></p> <p>Prokopské Údoli, Prague CZ</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204667600@N06/">John Underwood</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204667600@N06/55318718157/" title="Prague 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55318718157_9f3b4f5db2_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Prague 2026" /></a></p> <p>My holiday pics</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204667600@N06/">John Underwood</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204667600@N06/55319791603/" title="Prague 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55319791603_b3fbcd1e97_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Prague 2026" /></a></p> <p>My holiday pics</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204667600@N06/">John Underwood</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204667600@N06/55319565911/" title="Prague 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55319565911_fee445006b_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Prague 2026" /></a></p> <p>My holiday pics</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/marcmatter/">Añelo de la Krotsche</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/marcmatter/55319176318/" title="Praha - Kostel sv.

Even the newer ones are from the Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance periods, and together, along with the formal gardens, they make up one of the largest castle complexes in the world.<br /> <br /> Along the north side there is a wild glen called Jelení příkop (the Deer Moat), originally part of the Castle's fortification and later a private hunting ground for the king. The royal stock of stags (and even a few bears) is gone, and today the Deer Moat is a public park of inviting lawns and shaded woods, with a stream channeled down the middle. It's all easily traversed via stone steps, paved paths, swinging timber walkways, and a 275-foot (84m) pedestrian tunnel that runs underneath the famous Powder Bridge.<br /> <br /> The opening of the Deer Moat and building of the tunnel were pet projects of former President Václav Havel, who wanted to give visitors an easier way to take advantage of the extended Castle grounds. He brought in Czech architect Josef Pleskot to design the tunnel, which incorporates the moat's stream, much of which had been relegated to underground pipes in the late 19th century.<br /> <br /> Pleskot kept the stream, called the Brusnice, as part of the overall underground experience of the tunnel, an oval tube of elegant brick work that feels at once enveloping and expansive. The sloping curve of the walls was designed to create this sense of comforting roominess, to belie the tightness of the quarters - no doubt making some grateful claustrophobics in the process.<br /> <br /> © COPYRIGHT The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted.
