PRAGUE: THE CASTLE

Another highlight is walking the grounds of the palace and enjoying the various gardens leading up to it. Lots of blooming chestnut trees and white lilacs along with a variety of perennials. 

There has been no royalty in Czechia for hundreds of years, but the palace remains the center of their government. The dungeon had some very clever instruments of torture!!!

Prague Castle was most likely founded in around 880 by Prince Bořivoj of the Premyslid Dynasty (Přemyslovci). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m². A UNESCO World Heritage site, it consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings of various architectural styles, from the remains of Romanesque-style buildings from the 10th century through Gothic modifications of the 14th century.
