A disturbing sight awaits hikers exploring the forest above the village of Zelizy in the Czech Republic—two enormous demonic faces carved from the native stone stare back with empty eyes.

The Devil's Heads

Created by Vaclav Levy in the mid 1800s, the nearly 30 foot tall stone heads are known locally as Certovy Hlavy or the "The Devil Heads" and have been a local attraction for generations. Other carvings by the artist including artificial caves and scenes inspired by fairy tales adorn other nearby rock faces. Now suffering slightly from the ravages of time and weather, the faces have grown less distinct over time, but no less disturbing. Prague Pneumatic Post. Once the dream of modern technology, sending messages and parcels zipping through miles of tubes, powered by air pressure, pneumatic dispatches have all but disappeared.

Prague Pneumatic Post

The Prague Pneumatic Post was one of the world's most long-lived parcel delivery systems using the technology, running since its introduction in 1889 until flood waters damaged equipment in 2002. It is hoped that the system may yet get up and running again. At one time similar pneumatic post systems ran under Paris, Milan, Berlin, New York and London. Old New Synagogue. In the darkness along the banks of the Maldau River near the city of Prague, Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel and his assistants fashioned a form in the mud.

Old New Synagogue

The year was 1580 and anti-semitic sentiments were once again threatening the nearby Jewish community. Rabbi Loew had received an answer to his prayer for help in the form of a dream, an answer that involved ancient rites to raise a protector from the lifeless mud, rites to create a golem. Legends tell of the creation of the Golem from mud and brought to life via a special inscription on the Golems forhead.

According to the classic tale the golem - an animated anthropomorphic being - protected the Jews for a period of time before becoming too powerful and uncontrollable and killing gentiles at random. Sans titre. Prague is a city steeped in history both known and otherwise, and the darker side of the Czech capitol's past is brought to light in evocative displays at The Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague, which looks at some of the famous dabblers in the dark arts that have called the city home.

sans titre

As king of much of eastern Europe and eventually Holy Roman Emperor during the 16th century, Rudolf II was not known as an especially effective ruler, but he is widely remembered for his interest and patronage of the occult arts. It was during his reign that he turned Prague into the unofficial capitol of the dark arts. Funding a number of alchemists and other so-called sorcerers, most notably the likes of Edward Kelley and John Dee, Rudolf created possibly the most active period of occult practice in history. The museum is more than a little sensational in its presentation, but to be fair these alchemists were likely more than a little bit showmen themselves.

Edited by: Strahov Monastery. Tucked away on the top of a hill in Prague is the Strahov Monastery, the second-oldest monestary in the city.

Strahov Monastery

It was built in 1140 and has been rebuilt numerous times since, due to the ravages of various wars. It is likely not the monastery itself, nor its church, however, that astonishes visitors. Atlas Obscura. Prague artist Reon Argondian (nee Jan Zahradnik) was not simply content to show his pieces in galleries, so instead he turned his home into the Magic Cave, an old mill building that is now home to the Kingdom of Argondia.

Atlas Obscura

Among the forests covering Petrin, a small hill in Prague, Reon has established his psychedelic empire of art. A painter and sculptor, Reon (as he prefers) has covered every wall in the building with colorful hand-sculpted facades, making the interior of his house into an otherworldly cave system that he has dubbed, Argondia.

Prague insolite : Parcs et forêts de Prague : un patrimoine insoupçonné

C’est tellement bluffant que ça en est parfois déroutant ! Il faut dire qu’avec 10 % de superficie en parcs et forêts, Prague se range parmi les villes les plus vertes de l’UE. Nul besoin de prendre la voiture pour trouver un lac naturel ou un troupeau de daims, ce qui est impensable à Paris... Pour les Pragois, il s’agit d’un véritable art de vivre, à l’instar des tavernes.

Protégées au titre du patrimoine, les forêts sont ici déclarées terrains inconstructibles. Parmi ces nombreux parcs, certains sont méconnus des Pragois eux-mêmes. Entre les arbres, se dresse une tour crénelée de type médiéval. Louis Aragon et les autres surréalistes, qui cherchaient le mystère dans le parc des Buttes-Chaumont à Paris, auraient sûrement trouvé Cibulka à leur goût !
