Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic, is bisected by the Vltava River. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires,” it’s known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show. Completed in 1402, pedestrian Charles Bridge is lined with statues of Catholic saints. ― Google

Prague is one of my favorite places – very historical and the same time very romantic – follow my slideshows and you will get the good expression of what it is all about…

Vysehrad is Prague’s second castle and stands on a rock above the Vltava River. This castle complex dates from the tenth century and consists of several historical buildings: Rotunda of St. Martin, Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul whose two spires point high into the air and are visible from almost any position in Prague. Next to the church is Vysehrad cemetery, the last resting place of more than fifty famous Czech artists whose names are engraved on the Slavin Cenotaph. Walk round the cemetery and you will see graves of other famous Czech artists: the composers Antonin Dvorak and Bedrich Smetana, the writers Karel and Josef Capek, poets Jan Neruda and Karel Hynek Macha and Alfons Mucha best known for his Art Nouveau posters.
