Hanau pavilion
@santiagofindlaywilson
Once inside Letna Park, we will find this incredible restaurant, where we can sit and have a drink or eat something, while we enjoy the view of the city.
It was built on the occasion of the Czech Jubilee Exhibition of 1891 in the Holesovice district of Prague to represent the Komarov foundry. It was the first cast iron building in Prague, built with cast iron, concrete and glass. The owner of the forge, Prince Vilem Hanavsky, after whom the pavilion is named, donated it to the city. When the exhibition ended, the pavilion was completely dismantled and moved to Letenske sady (Letná Gardens).

Otros Recorridos...
Sigamos turisteando! Sigamos Caminando! En esta entrada, nos va a tocar caminar por uno de los lugares que tiene la contradicción de ser una zona muy tranquila y al mismo tiempo muy transitada. Punto de inicio de la mayoría de las lineas de trenes, que después se ramifican por la provincia. Ademas es sede de grandes parques y shoppings históricos, vistas panorámicas y paseos de compras. Estamos haciendo referencia y de la cual hablaremos en esta entrada, de la zona de Retiro!

Vamos a visitar una zona, en la que volveremos en el tiempo, nos perderemos entre pasillos angostos y veremos puestos de todo tipo. Hablamos del mítico barrio de San Telmo, que con solo dar una bocanada de aire, uno puede respirar historia.
