A history of more than 1100 years speaks for itself. The story of the Prague Castle identifies itself with the story of Prague and Christianity (860s, Chyril and Methodius) in the Czech Republic. In 870s AD the Prince Borivoj, one of the first Czech rulers from the Royal Dynasty of Premyslids ordered the building of the Castle, originally out of timber and with a soil rampart fortification.
During the reconstruction of the Castle in 1920 a huge archaeological site was discovered, proving that the original size of the Castle is the same as the area that the castle occupies today. Originally, the castle premises included a palace, three churches and a monastery. Even though the fortification had to face many fires, invasions and even World Wars, it had somehow every time survived and as time passed, it became the symbol and living legend of Prague.
The most important moments in Prague Castle history line are the rebuilding processes undertaken by the Premyslids (Romanesque Style) in the 13th century and in the following two centuries by Charles IV (Gothic Style) and King Vladislav Jagiello (Neo-Gothic Style). Text courtesy of Prague.net

Fabulous work , I have never been to Prague but it looks like an interesting place.
It’s a fantastic place to visit and we loved every moment we were there. It snowed heavily several times and the temperature was around minus ten degrees, so we had to wear lots of layers plus hats to keep warm. Amazingly less that an hour after a heavy snowfall the streets were clear and life was back to normal.
We were lucky enough to be sent there by our grown up children for my wife’s 60th birthday.
