Along the northeastern wing of the former Bishop's Palace (now the Library) there is a beautiful flowering garden. In its center there is a fountain with a statue of St. Barbara, after whom this garden was named. Here you can see a lot of flowers in flowerbeds and topiary bushes and trees - this is a real green miracle among the urban landscape. The remains of stone medieval arches that fit perfectly into this picturesque landscape ensemble attract the eye. The garden of St. Barbara is open all year round and is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
