You might think we’re about to embark on an international flight, but we’re standing on solid ground, at the edge of a former quarry in the heart of Prague. Kanada, named for its resemblance to the vast Canadian wilderness, is a testament to the power of nature and human endeavor. This place wasn’t always a hauntingly beautiful scar on the landscape. It was once a bustling limestone quarry, its stones used in the construction of Prague’s iconic landmarks.
