Architecture · Mariánské Lázně, Karlovy Vary
Kolonáda Maxima Gorkého
The main colonnade of Mariánské Lázně accompanies the spa center and the city's parks. Its cast-iron structure and neobaroque decoration create a covered promenade distinct from the stone colonnades of Karlovy Vary. The complex allows observation of the relationship between architecture and lingering in the gardens.

About Kolonáda Maxima Gorkého
The main colonnade of Mariánské Lázně accompanies the spa center and the city's parks. Its cast-iron structure and neobaroque decoration create a covered promenade distinct from the stone colonnades of Karlovy Vary. The complex allows observation of the relationship between architecture and lingering in the gardens.
The building was constructed at the end of the 19th century and is linked to the tradition of visiting the springs during a spa stay. The Singing Fountain is located in the nearby area, but its program is seasonal and should be checked. The architectural interest of the colonnade remains a reason to visit regardless of performances.
Walk through the covered space and then step back to observe its length and siting next to the park. The visit can be part of a day of strolls around the center, without booking treatments. Between November and March, the cold usually alters the pace of walks; in any month, confirm services and access before you go.
