History of Prague

Founded in the 9th century, Prague became a major center of the Holy Roman Empire and later the capital of Bohemia. Its medieval core, including Prague Castle, survived wars and invasions. The city played a key role in the Protestant Reformation and endured Soviet influence before the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Today, Prague’s preserved architecture and cultural heritage make it a global gem.

Prague’s romantic allure lies in its timeless beauty and storied past.
