Beschreibung
The author of the book, MUDr. Pavel Bedrníček (1930 – 2010), dedicated his entire life to his passion – the history of Prague and its monuments. In this remarkable book, he offers readers the result of his many years of work. He narrates the stories of individual sanctuaries, discusses the circumstances of their creation and subsequent fates, talks about their founders and creators, describes both the external and internal decorations, and recounts the legends, tales, and anecdotes associated with their pivotal moments and decisive turns, as captured by contemporary storytellers. All sacred objects in the territory of the capital city of Prague are listed here in alphabetical order, whether they are churches of various denominations, synagogues, chapels, or others, including those that no longer serve religious purposes, provided their original purpose is still evident. The book is equipped with a comprehensive index of names and also includes a local names index for better orientation.
