Minoritska is a small street in the center of Brno that leads from Namesti Svobody back towards the tram station. It's a beautiful street characterized by several churches.

The churches are very worth stepping into since they are beautifully designed but cameras are not allowed inside. On the outside, the churches are decorated with status of saints.

And the doorways are also magnificently decorated in stonework.

Enjoy your stroll down Minoritska....

The City of Brno features some magnificent buildings and architecture. The Czech Republic was once the richest country in Europe - prior to the First World War - and that wealth established itself as opulence in its buildings. Many of those buildings were somewhat ignored until recently when European money started to pour into the country and the city. Many buildings have now been restored to something of their former glory.

Taking a short walk through the city center, one can see many interesting buildings and features of this industrial city. One only has to walk from the main railway/tram station up Masarykova towards Namesti Svoboda and then back down Minoritska (to see many examples).

On Masarykova, take note of what is above eye level. Such as this facade;
