The picturesque area of Nový Svět (New World) is a former suburb of Hradčany, which was founded in the middle of the 14th century and is considered the most beautiful place in Prague. It consists of a street with the same name, into which Czernin Street and the winding Capuchin Street leading along the Capuchin Monastery open. Between New World Street and Czernin Street is a complex of houses, which includes a sizeable irregular land plot with three separate houses and a shared courtyard inside. Part of the complex in New World Street dates back to the 17th century, while the houses in Czernin Street come from the 19th century. The courtyard is connected to Nový Svět Street by a covered staircase.
