Na baště sv. Ludmily is a street connected with one of Prague's most beautiful places. It forms an arch north of Mickiewicz Street and is named after the bastion of St. Ludmila, which was part of the Mariánska wall - barroc fortification of Prague Castle. Like the neighboring streets of St. Thomas' Bastion, this historic fortification from the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries follows.
The street painting changed dramatically at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. When the fortifications began to break down in the early twentieth century, a place for a new installation opened up. From 1910 to 1913, a luxury villa district grew here - especially on the markets of St. George, St. Ludmila and St. Thomas. The builders concentrated the series "kotay" houses, villas and twin houses, which became part of one of Prague's most exclusive locations. The architectural solution respected the landscape and historical lines of fortification structures, creating a unique urban space.
The surrounding streets form natural elements, especially Charlotte G. Masaryk Park. He was previously known as Park or orchards near the Sandy Gate and since 1971 he has been protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The park creates the open, green-band character of the district and makes an ideal counterweight to residential buildings.
The street features period villas with rich details. Interesting buildings include a villa with painted facade on the number 9, which shows the quality of the original building. Individual houses and villas bear the characteristics of the beginning of the twentieth century and formed, and to some extent formed, a symbol of the higher social position of their owners.
Today the street Na baště sv. Ludmily is a place where history of Prague Castle fortifications is crossed with a model example of the Czech Empire of the 20th century. The blending of the original historical fortification with the modern villa area makes this place in Hradčany interesting for those who understand the layering of Prague history and architectural development.

On the Bastion of Saint Ludmila is a street in the Hradčany district of Prague. It forms an arc running north above Mickiewicz Street and takes its name from the Bastion of Saint Ludmila. This bastion was part of the Marian Fortifications, a Baroque fortification system of Prague Castle.
The fortifications were built at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The street still follows their shape today, just like the nearby street On the Bastion of Saint Thomas.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the fortifications were demolished and villa neighborhoods grew up around the bastions, which people considered the most luxurious location in Prague. Between nineteen hundred and ten and nineteen hundred and thirteen, terraced houses, villas, and semi-detached houses were built on the bastions of Saint George, Saint Ludmila, and Saint Thomas. The street is recalled by such buildings as the villa with a painted facade at number nine.
Around the street lies the Charlotte Masaryk Park. It was formerly called the park or garden by the Písek Gate. Since nineteen seventy-one it has been a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
For kids
Imagine going back to the past to the time of King Rehysl Otakar II. At that time, the mighty bastion of St. Ludmila was built in this place. It was a heavily fortified fortress where people had resorted in case of danger.
How did it look here? Who lived here? What happened here? Imagine you're a little knight with a sword and shield. You went down a muddy road that leads to the castle. The road was covered with grass and bushes. As soon as you get closer, you hear people's voices.
