  • History of Prague
    PRAGUE PRAGUE Th e City in the Heart of Europe • • HISTORY OF PRAGUE Prague became famous as a impressive city, full of mysticism and fantasy, hiding many secrets. In its narrow, winding lanes and dark corners, ancient legends of phantoms and daemons come to life. In its monumental history Prague has experienced time of great power and glory. Over the centuries the city has had to withstand war and conquerors, and was the centre of a great European power with extensive territory. Prague fl ourished thanks to its location, on the crossroads of old trading routes leading from southern and eastern regions into western Europe. Prague was not originally a single city, however. Prague Castle and the Lesser Town stood on the left bank of the River Vltava, with the Old Town and the Gallus Town, Jewish Town and Vyšehrad on the right bank. Th e towns of Prague were fi nally unifi ed in 1784 by Emperor Joseph II (1741-1790). Under the reign of Emperor and King Charles IV (1316-1378), who resolved to make Prague the centre of the Christian world, Prague became a cosmopolitan Gothic city. Th e fi rst university north of the Alps was founded in Prague in 1348, Saint Vitus Cathedral was built, and in 1348 the New Town was founded. In 1355 Charles IV became Emperor, head of the secular power of western Christendom. At the time, the Bohemian crown ruled over Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Lusatia, Brandenburg and Luxembourg. Old Town Emperor Rudolph II (1552-1612) was an important patron of the arts and sciences and founded the tradition of Bohemian glassmaking.

The ca- stle is composed of a vast complex of palaces and Church buildings in a variety of architectural styles – from 10th–century Romanesque buildings to Gothic reconstructions from the 14th century, the work of renowned Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik during the First Republic up to the latest changes from the end of the 20th century. The access to Prague Castle complex is easy. There are several tram stops nearby (Královský letohrádek, Pražský hrad, Pohořelec) and also two metro stations (Malostranská, Hradčanská). The visitors use mostly tram No. 22 (stop called Pražský hrad). Then they leave the Castle through the Old Castle Stairs to metro station Malostranská.

The Prague Castle complex, seat of Czech kings throughout the ages, comprises many buildings, including the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral (Prague's most recognisable landmark), several palaces, a monastery, museums & galleries, viewing towers, St. George's Basilica and the enchanting Golden Lane. The crown jewels are kept in Prague Castle, as are the relics of Bohemian kings, or precious Christian reliquiae. Events important for the whole country have taken place within its walls. The Prague Castle, a symbol of Czech statehood, has been the focal point of Prague for over a thousand years.
