Abstract

This paper addresses the development of a methodology for the restoration of small architecture in historical public spaces protected as monuments. The methodology is demonstrated using the example of the important historical garden, the National Cultural Monument (Koch's Garden). The stone beauty of Hradcany with St. Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge and other historical buildings are among the most visited sights of this city. The aim of this work is to introduce and link the construction of the Romanesque and Gothic periods with a description of the different types of stone used in their construction and their source areas.
