The quaint, cobbled alley, often referred to as the Golden Lane (sometimes the Street of the Alchemists), was established back in the 16th century in Prague between the Bílá Tower and the Daliborka Tower as an area built into the city’s fortifications with tiny houses for the servants, gatekeepers and guards working at Prague Castle. Appearing as a colourful, fairy-tale street within the castle walls, it has been left nearly untouched throughout the last centuries. It is today also a historical piece of authentic castle culture, a bit shrouded in mystery, that draws thousands of visitors to the castle grounds.
