Prague - Pražský Hrad

Overlooking the city, the Prague Castle stands as a collection of buildings dating from the 10th to the 20th century, all linked by internal courtyards. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the biggest ancient castle, where the kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors, and the presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic have had their offices. The most important structures are Chram svateho Vita, clearly visible soaring above the castle walls, and the Kralovsky palac, the official residence of kings and presidents and still the center of political power in the Czech Republic.
