Heritage study
Learn about the significance of the Saint Vitus Cathedral
Deepen understanding of this iconic Czech religious monument.
Overview
Prague Castle is an essential stop for anyone visiting the city, serving as the historical and cultural heart of the Czech Republic. Founded around 880 by Prince Bořivoj, the site has evolved over a millennium into the world's largest coherent castle complex. It is a dense, impressive collection of palaces, ecclesiastical buildings, and courtyards that showcase a variety of styles, from 10th-century Romanesque roots to 14th-century Gothic updates and later renovations by architect Josip Plečnik. Visitors can explore the grounds, visit the iconic Saint Vitus Cathedral, or book guided tours that reach restricted areas like the Royal Crypt. The area is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and remains a vibrant institution with regular exhibitions and concerts, though guests should be mindful of security regulations regarding large bags and drone usage.
