Saint Felix of Cantalice

One of the iconic 18th-century statues lining the historic Cloak Bridge at Český Krumlov Castle

Sculpted with sandals on his feet, Felix supposedly went barefoot through the streets, with a sack slung over his shoulders, knocking on doors to seek donations (not in this area of the Czech Republic but in Rome).

Hradec Králové Spires

Hradec Králové, Czech Republic (August 2019)

This was the (distant) view from my hotel (Hotel Alessandria) in Hradec Králové while I stayed there during the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival. Those spires intrigued me, but I didn’t have a car, or extra time, to go explore.

When I did have a car, and a bit of time, in 2021, I checked out the Hradec Králové Old Town. It wasn’t as impressive as the photo below as at some point in history, someone thought it would be a good idea to turn the Old Town square into a parking lot.
