Hanavsky Pavilion

The Hanavský Pavilion is a historic pavilion in Letná park in Prague, built in 1891 for the Jubilee Exhibition.

It is one of the oldest cast-iron structures in the city, representing the architecture of the late 19th century, which combined Neo-Baroque elements with industrial technology.

The pavilion stands on the edge of Letná hill and offers a wide view of the Vltava, the bridges and the historic centre of Prague.

Satori Cities

On a Satori Cities walk, Hanavsky Pavilion is not treated as a box to tick. It is a place to notice texture, proportion, and the moment before explanation, to slow the body down, and to receive the historical context only after perception has done its work.
