Nice picture! I know something about Prague Castle! Castle is the most popular sight visited in Prague! It is the largest ancient castle in the world!
Constructed in the 9th century by Prince Bořivoj, the castle transformed itself from a wooden fortress surrounded by earthen bulwarks to the imposing form it has today. Rulers made their own additions so there is a mixture of styles. Prague castle has had several major reconstructions, but it keeps its classical face lift it took on in the 18 century during the reign of Maria Theresa.
The castle has three courtyards and it has always been the seat of Czech rulers as well as the official residence. I booked in Prague accommodation close to Castle, when I visited Czech Republic! Before visit I read a lot of information about this castle! · Prague is a city of many faces. It has its long and sometimes mysterious history, breathing from each building in the old center.
