 Plzen / Pilsen - the Tyl theatre by globetrott The theatre of Plzen is named after the great dramatist Josef Kajetan Tyl and it is under reconstruction at the moment, but it still looks great ! It reminds me a bit of the Vienna Opera, that was built at the same time, and of course architects always tried to copy great buildings from the capital ( at the time , when Plzen was part of the Austrian empire ) Leave a Comment

 Plzen / Pilsen by globetrott This is one of the most beautiful fassades of the buildings on the main square. It is on top of one of the 4 great buildings next to the bishop-palace, and in case you are searching for a " ATM-machine " or " Bancomat " - you will find it in this building ! Leave a Comment

 Plzen / Pilsen - Sejbl & Hurvinek by globetrott Sejbl & Hurvinek are very popular marionettes - a creation of a local puppeteer named Josef Skupa ( 1892-1957). These little sculptures may be seen in the park around the street "Safankovy-sady", or you may as well see them in many souvenir-shops in all sizes and lots of variations. Leave a Comment

 Plzen / Pilsen - St. Barbara by globetrott The St. Barbara Church of the monastery has a little window in the back gate, where you may have a look into the church and take a photo, without having to take a tour through the monastery. For a tour you would have to ring the bell to the right of the church entrance ! Leave a Comment

 Plzen / Pilsen by globetrott When walking to the Plzen-brewery, you may pass by this interesting building, that is under reconstruction at the moment and obviously was used as a solarium for a certain time. This building is just across the river, seen from the brewery. Leave a Comment

 Plzen - the main square by globetrott There are so plenty of great fassades in Plzen, that I could have posted here, but I have chosen this pic, as it is rather unique in its style and kind of ornaments. This building is on main square, just behind the small cafe that is the only building directely INSIDE the square, opposite of the church. Leave a Comment

 Plzen / Pilsen by globetrott Watch out for this great building, built opposite of the library, next to this beautiful park. In my opinion it has one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau-fassades in Plzen, and it has a great cafe inside - there are more pics of it under my Plzen-restaurant-tips ! Leave a Comment
