About Prague:

Since the Middle Ages, Prague has been viewed as one of Europe's most beautiful cities.

Prague is also known as "City of 100 Towers", "Heart of Europe" and "Golden Prague".

Prague's earliest inhabitants date back to 500 BC when a Celtic tribe inhabited the Vltava valley. The first Slavonic tribe arrived in Bohemia around 500 AD.

Prague Castle was established by Prince Borivoj. In the 10th century the fortress Vysehrad was built on the rock upon the right bank of the river Vltava. Both fortresses have been important to Czech rulers over the centuries.

Prince Wenceslas, who was one of the rulers in Czech history, was murdered in 935 AD. Later he was declared a saint and then he became the Bohemian Patron Saint.

The historical center of Prague is situated on both banks of the river Vltava. The historical center is compromised of 6 quarters. Up until the 18th century, each quarter was actually its own independent citiy.

The quarters are known as Old Town, Jewish Quarter - Josefov (there is a well preserved part of Old Jewish Town, today part of Old Town), New Town, Little Quarter, Hradcany and Vysehrad.

Museums, galleries, and historical buildings abound in Prague. In fact in 1992, UNESCO declared Prague's historical center a world culture and nature heritage site.

Prague Castle:

In the 9th century, Prince Borivoj founded the Slavonic Fortress Prague which is the predecessor of Prague Castle.

Prague Castle was rebuilt in the 12th and transformed into a stone Romanesque castle which contained the Church of Our Lady, Episcopal building with chapel of Saint Moritz, rotunda of Saint Vitus, Saint George's Basilica with monastery and Royal palace.

Prince Premysl Otakar II, during the 13th century, rebuilt the castle in the style of early Gothic.

The castle reached its full bloom during the reign of Charles IV and Wenceslas IV. During this time, more additions were added in the form of Saint Vitus Cathedral, Royal Palace, and the Chapel of all Saints in the style of top form Gothic.

Hussite captured the Prague Castle in 1421 and its condition began to dwindle as it simply was not used. In the early 1500's though, Vladislav Hall, Ludvik wing, oratorio of Saint Vitus Cathedral were finished.

After a major fire in 1451, the Saint Vitus cathedral was repaired again in Renaissance style as well as the Chapel of all Saints and Royal Palace.

During the noteworthy reign of Rudolph II, Prague became a center of science and artists. In 1620, after defeat of the Czech walk's rebellion and after start of the Thirty Year War, Habsburg moved their permanent seats to Vienna.

In 1918 though, with the emergence of the independent Czech-Slovak Republic, Prague Castle once again became the residence of the government. In turn, the castle received repairs and renovations.

In 1929, Saint Vitus Cathedral was completed and in 1958 Prague Castle was listed as national cultural monument.
