"Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, lies in the middle of Bohemia on the Vltava River and has a population of 1.2 million people. It is the largest and the most hectic city in Czech Republic. It is seat of the President, government and parliament and the political, cultural and economic centre of the country. The old centre of Prague consists of five historical districts. Old Town, New Town and Josefov (the former Jewish Town) are situated on the right bank of the Vltava. The Lesser Quarter and Hradčany (the Castle District) are on the left bank. The origin of the name Praha is rather associated with the word prah (that means a threshold), which is a rapid on the river. At the beginning of the 19th century, Bernardo Bolzano, a famous mathematician and philosopher, counted 103 towers and spires in Prague and that’s how the city got its nickname “City of a hundred spires”.
History: The city, established in the 9th century, was the seat of Czech princes and later kings of Bohemia and became the political heart of the Czech State. Charles IV (1316 – 1378), Bohemian King and Holy Roman Emperor, chose the city as the capital of his whole Empire. He founded Charles University, St. Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge and the New Town. Many of the most beautiful things we associate with Prague can be traced back to Charles IV."
