The golden lane - Prague. - a photo on Flickriver

            As one of Prague Castle’s most iconic sites, Golden Lane was created at the end of the 15th century following the construction of the new northern fortifications. This picturesque alley, with its small, colourful houses, is steeped in legends and myths that have also attracted numerous writers and artists, including the renowned Franz Kafka, who once resided here. Currently, several houses host an exhibition showcasing life in the lane over its 500-year history.
The modest dwellings that arose with the new castle fortifications represent the last remnants of Prague Castle’s smaller habitations. These houses were once home to castle marksmen, families, and goldsmiths, and they remained inhabited all the way up until the Second World War. During the First Republic, care was taken to ensure that the street’s picturesque character was preserved through careful renovations. The last residents moved out in 1953.As one of Prague Castle’s most iconic sites, Golden Lane was created at the end of the 15th century following the construction of the new northern fortifications.

Ως ένα από τα πιο εμβληματικά αξιοθέατα του Κάστρου της Πράγας, το Golden Lane δημιουργήθηκε στα τέλη του 15ου αιώνα μετά την κατασκευή των νέων βόρειων οχυρώσεων. Αυτό το γραφικό σοκάκι, με τα μικρά, πολύχρωμα σπίτια του, είναι βουτηγμένο σε θρύλους και μύθους που έχουν προσελκύσει επίσης πολλούς συγγραφείς και καλλιτέχνες, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του διάσημου Φραντς Κάφκα, που κάποτε διέμενε εδώ. Επί του παρόντος, πολλά σπίτια φιλοξενούν μια έκθεση που παρουσιάζει τη ζωή στη λωρίδα κατά τη διάρκεια της 500χρονης ιστορίας της.
Οι μέτριες κατοικίες που προέκυψαν με τις νέες οχυρώσεις του κάστρου αντιπροσωπεύουν τα τελευταία απομεινάρια των μικρότερων κατοικιών του Κάστρου της Πράγας. Αυτά τα σπίτια κάποτε φιλοξενούσαν σκοπευτές του κάστρου, οικογένειες και χρυσοχόους και παρέμειναν κατοικημένα μέχρι τον Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Κατά τη διάρκεια της Πρώτης Δημοκρατίας, ελήφθη μέριμνα ώστε να διατηρηθεί ο γραφικός χαρακτήρας του δρόμου μέσω προσεκτικών ανακαινίσεων. Οι τελευταίοι κάτοικοι μετακόμισαν το 1953.
