Prague is an amazing city! Even the most unprepossessing and ordinary at first glance things in the capital of the Czech Republic are able to acquire a completely different look and form. Such metamorphoses do not pass the attention of the audience, and eventually become firmly established in the status of a sight . A vivid example is the Sewerage Museum, which is located in the building of a real plant for treatment plants, a famous architectural monument of Prague industry.
What attracts tourists to the Museum of Sewerage?
The fact that purity is the guarantee of health, humanity began to guess even in the Middle Ages, just after the plague and other diseases took the lion's share of the population of Europe. It was then that the idea arose that one should worry about the purity not only of one's own soul, but also of the body. The first mentions connected with the creation of sewerage and treatment facilities in Prague date back to 1310 and are directly related to the building in which the museum is located. In 1782 the capital of the Czech Republic acquired the first channel of mass use.
To date, the Museum of Sewerage has been restored several times and appears before the visitor in a very decent form. The sight of tourists opens labyrinths of sewer systems, pump and steam stations, old mechanisms and devices for water treatment. Here you can make a fascinating walk on an old trolley and no less ancient canals and mines.
