Chronicles of Prague
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, was founded in the 9th century as the settlement of Prague Castle. The city's architectural evolution reflects its complex history, from the Romanesque and Gothic styles of the Middle Ages to the Baroque and Art Nouveau periods of the 18th and 19th centuries. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its rich history, with a blend of Bohemian and Viennese influences. Today, Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its well-preserved medieval architecture and lively cultural scene.
