On Prague’s Hradčany Square stands one of the city’s most remarkable historic sites: Loreto. This Baroque pilgrimage complex is renowned not only for its architecture, but above all for its extraordinary carillon, which first rang out on September 28, 1695, the feast day of St. Wenceslas, patron saint of the Czech lands.
The carillon is housed in the octagonal tower at the center of Loreto’s façade.
