PRAGUE
CASTLE (Pražský
Hrad) Prague's Castle stands on the site of a previous
castle built in the 9th Century. King Charles IV rebuilt this
castle in Gothic style in the 14th Century, and final additions to
the castle were made in the 16th Century.
The "castle" is actually composed of a complex of palaces,
courtyards, churches, and streets, all spread across the hill on the
western banks of the River Vltava.
Today the castle is the seat of the Czech President, and it serves
as both the historic and political center of the state.
The castle complex is open daily 5am-midnight, April-October;
5am-11pm, November-March. Phone 2 2437 3368.
