The national cemetery has a huge structure, the whole cemetery is a lot of historical tasks, the area here is also very large, attracting many local people to visit here.
The national cemetery is a memorial service for the heroes who died in the war. The whole cemetery has a very large internal area. There are countless tombstones here. The structure of the cemetery is also very unique.
I feel very solemn and solemn when I come here. Many people who have made great contributions to Czech Republic rest here.
The 13th century cemetery became the Czech National Cemetery in 1869, and it buried a large number of Czech celebrities, especially many musicians, painters, writers and artists, making it a place of pilgrimage for art lovers. The cemetery is close to St. Peter and St. Paul's Church. The area is not very large. It is not like the gloomy cemetery in our impression. It is more like a small garden, green trees, quiet and pleasant, especially those slightly crowded tombstones, thousands of shapes, each one is ingenious, with religious stories. There are carved tomb masters, some tombstones are as tall as monuments, some are small and exquisite, the most music-themed tombstones, there are violin-shaped, piano-shaped, some are full of notes, some carved five-line spectrum, at a glance, you know that the master was a musician in his life, Some tombstones are open books, about the owner from the real writing career, ...... is simply an open-air exhibition hall of sculpture art. The masters who have long slept here include musicians Bederikh Smetana (Bedrich Smetana) and Anthony Devosak (Antonin Dvorak), poet Jan Nenuda, and painter Alphonse Musha (Alphonse Mucha). Because of not doing enough homework in advance, Enyaya and I only remembered that there was Dvorak buried in the cemetery, and his ninth symphony, "From the New World", was familiar to everyone, and the gravestone was carved with Dvorak's bust, and the musician's eyebrows were heavy, as if he were thinking. We vaguely thought that the writer Kafka was buried here, and we searched for a good time, only to know that Kafka and his family, as Jews, were buried in the new Jewish cemetery in the old town, not in the high fort.
