Riegrovy Sady

This guide to Riegrovy Sady in Prague uncovers why, for four years during the Nazi occupation, the hilltop park officially didn't exist under its own name, rebranded after a safely dead composer instead. It traces the life of František Ladislav Rieger, the nineteenth-century Czech statesman honored by the bronze statue that never moved, and sculptor Josef Václav Myslbek, who cast it in 1913. Listen for the gardens' vineyard-turned-parkland design from the early 1900s, and the view toward Prague Castle from the crest.
