The Strahov Monastery is a medieval library that sits atop Hradcany. It is composed of four parts: The Basilica of Our Lady, the Theological Hall, the Cabinet of Curiosities and the Philosophical Hall. The halls are astoundingly beautiful, particularly the Philosophical Hall, which reminded us of the library in Beauty & the Beast. This hall is also the location of the world’s largest indoor picture.
Since my history teacher works there, we got to actually go explore the halls and look at some of the books, which tourists are usually forbidden from doing.
