Golden Lane is yet another interesting part of the Prague Castle complex.Dating from the 15th Century, this small street is lined by 11 historic houses, which exhibit medieval armoury and textiles, as well as selling tourist souvenirs. Visitors can also shoot a crossbow on the upper floor of one of the buildings.
Golden Lane was created when a new outer wall was added to the existing Romanesque castle complex. It was originally known as Zlatnicka Ulicka (Goldsmith's Lane), due to the many goldsmith's residing here.
In its early years, Golden Lane consisted of small dwellings, which eventually fell into disrepair. As larger buildings replaced the older ones - and have subsequently themselves been restored - we are left with a charming little passageway, well worth a visit.
Visitors need to purchase a combined ticket for the whole Prague Castle complex in order to gain entrance to Golden Lane.Golden Lane is yet another interesting part of the Prague Castle complex.Dating from the 15th Century, this small street is lined by 11 historic houses, which exhibit medieval armoury and textiles, as well as selling tourist souvenirs.
