Consisting of a huge complex,
prague castle
Prague Castle is one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic and was once the center of the Holy Roman Empire. Prague Castle currently houses the Czech president and royal jewels and is known as the largest castle complex in the world. When you enter the Prague Castle complex, there are various museums, galleries, and cultural assets, so it takes a lot of time just to see them. So, even if you are looking around individually, I recommend visiting on a leisurely schedule.
Internal Key Features
1. St. Wenceslas Cathedral:
This Gothic-style cathedral is one of the most impressive structures within Prague Castle. It houses the remains of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech Republic, and is the site of the coronations of Czech kings.
2. Old Royal Palace:
Historically, it was the main residence of the Czech royal family, and is a place where you can get a glimpse into the history and culture of various royal families.
3. Golden Lane:
Lined with small, beautiful painted houses, this street was once home to the castle's guards and artisans, but has now been converted into shops and exhibition halls for tourists.
4. St. George Monastery:
It is the second oldest church within Prague Castle and stands out for its Romanesque architectural beauty.
5. Tower of Dalibor:
This tower was used as a medieval prison and is steeped in legends and stories.
