Beschreibung
This book is a tribute to the art of builder Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel and his legacy in Žďár nad Sázavou. Photographer Milan Šustr and historian Stanislav Mikule reveal the mysterious symbolism of numbers, the unique symmetry of shapes, and the interplay of light and darkness. The book also explores the building’s spiritual significance and the history of the pilgrimages that lie at its heart. Santini’s star, the Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk on Zelená hora, has given the surrounding landscape an unmistakable character. Even after three hundred years, people from around the world continue to admire it. The church on Zelená hora is a meeting place for pilgrims from distant lands and a place of spiritual rest, as well as a sought-after destination for tourists and everyday family walks.
