The Old Town is the oldest and most magical part of Prague that is full of historical treasures and tourism.

in #esteem6 years ago

The Prague Castle offers an unprecedented view of the Old Town. Behind the glittering river Vltava, there is a quarter from which towers of dozens of churches tow in the sky, and where hundreds of people walk through the streets along the old and fabulous Royal Route, after which the Czech kings arrived at the Prague Castle. The Old Town, however, is not just the Royal Route, it is a vast array of mysterious streets that can lead you to beautiful nooks, where the Prawns rarely go.
His beauty was acquired in the 14th century, when Charles IV. founded the New Town, where the craftsmen and tradesmen moved, and the Old Town remained the home of nobles, officials, scientists, philosophers, and simply the Prague elite. Still today, when you enter the Old Town, the atmosphere of past times is breathtaking.

One of the many lived in the Old City

The Royal Route leads from the Old Town Square to the Celetná Street, which is connected with many monuments and life fates of the Prague people. There are, for example, the faculties of Charles University, the Cubist House of the Black Mother of God and a wide range of theaters. The street ends with the Powder Gate , which enters the city in the Middle Ages. Today it is adjacent to the Municipal House , an Art Nouveau pearl of Prague architecture, in which the modern Czech state was born in the early 20th century.

Cultural Center of Europe

Prague, many times during its existence, was a place where artists, scientists and philosophers from all over Europe met. In the Old Town, next to the oldest college campus in the world - Karolina and the important library Klementinum or a number of important theaters, such as the Stavovské divadlo , which was famous as the WA Mozart scene, who introduced the world to the world, for example, Don Giovanni. Today, there are many great galleries in the Old Town, such as the Stone Bell House or The Golden Ring.

In the heart of the city

The Old Town is the very heart of Prague's historical heritage site, where you can find a number of significant historical and architectural monuments. For centuries, it was the meeting place of the Prague's Old Town Square , where public social life took place.

Today it is mainly the center of tourism, because on the walls of the Old Town Hall there is a famous Old Town Astronomical Clock, medieval astronomical clocks, which are moving every hour and seeing the twelve apostles to curious visitors. There are also two important churches in the square - the Gothic Church of the Mother of God in front of Týn and the Baroque Church of St. Nicholas .

The smallest part of Prague is Josefov, a former Jewish quarter, which is surrounded by the Old Town, from which it is historically also covered. There are eight synagogues in this mysterious city in the city, such as the Old Synagogue , which is one of the oldest synagogues throughout Europe where religious ceremonies are still being carried out.

Although the Old Town is not the first among the cities of the Czech kingdom, it is still one of the most beautiful and most sought-after part of Prague. The historical center of the capital, listed among UNESCO sites, is full of monuments, shops, cafes and restaurants, and goes through the so-called Royal Route.
