Prague Castle, the grand symbol of the city, is not only the largest castle complex in the world but also the heart of Czech history and culture.

Located in the district of Hradčany, it has served as the seat of Czech kings, Roman emperors, and later the presidents of the Czech Republic for centuries.

St. Vitus Cathedral: A Jewel of Gothic Architecture:
Within the Prague Castle grounds lies St. Vitus, Wenceslas, and Adalbert Cathedral, the most significant sacred building in the Czech Republic. This Gothic masterpiece was the site of Czech coronations and holds the remains of Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech lands. Its construction began in 1344 under Charles IV and spanned over 500 years.

A highlight of the cathedral is the Great South Tower, offering one of the most breathtaking views of Prague. Inside, visitors are captivated by stunning stained glass windows, a magnificent royal mausoleum, and the St. Wenceslas Chapel, considered the spiritual heart of the Czech nation.

Prague Castle and its cathedral are symbols of Czech statehood, where history intertwines with the present. Whether you visit as a tourist or an admirer of architecture, this site will enchant you with its atmosphere and rich heritage.

Plan your visit and dive into the history of one of the most beautiful places in the world!
