Troy Castle
Troja Castle is a luxurious baroque palace complex which looks as if it came out of a painting. It is situated in the Troja district of Prague. It is a country residence, a museum with a unique wine collection, and a neat, creatively designed park - in a word, another beautiful place to visit in Prague. The palace was built in the 17th century by order of Count Sternberg, and for a long time it served as the residence of the oldest Sternberg family. The main pride of the castle is its Imperial Hall with numerous colored frescoes depicting plots of the Ottoman battle.

Týn Church
Church of Our Lady before Týn - medieval cathedral on the Old Town Square
The top top sights in Prague continues with the city's main Catholic church, located in the same Stare Mesto district. Týn Church in the name of Virgin Mary is an extraordinary structure in Gothic style with Baroque elements, which rises majestically above the red tiled roofs of Old Town buildings. The towers of the temple are crowned with corner turrets, which gives it a certain fairy-tale and even mystical look. The interior decoration deserves special attention: the temple holds 19 altars, decorated in different years starting from the middle of the 14th century, as well as a centuries-old pewter font and more than a dozen historical paintings.

Old Town Hall

Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock dating back to the 15th century
In moving from the general to the particular, it is impossible to ignore the complex of historical buildings in Old Town Square, called the Old Town Hall. These buildings served the needs of the Old City government. In 1338 the authorities bought the stone house of the merchant Wolf Kamene, and later they expanded the town hall, bought and rebuilt new premises, and the crowning achievement was the Astronomical Clock built on the Old Town Hall tower - a unique technical masterpiece, reflecting the amazingly fine work of medieval craftsmen.

Old Town Square
Choosing where to go in Prague, it is worth getting to another square of the city, located in the historical district of Stare Mesto. This is the Old Town Square, known since the 12th century. Once the square was full of market life, numerous traders, artisans, merchants from different countries gathered there. And today it hosts mass festivals, fairs and festivals. Here you can also buy souvenirs, and from the high tower you can admire the panorama of the city, which opens up in all its glory.

Wenceslas Square
This place can be called the heart of Prague - Wenceslas Square is located in the very center of the city and plays the primary role both for public festivities and mass celebrations, as well as an iconic landmark of the city. It is the place where the end of World War II was proclaimed, where Yuri Gagarin was welcomed with the Peace Mission, where the most important rallies were held, and where to this day meetings and demonstrations are held. The square is surrounded by many historical monuments, which even have plaques with information about the events associated with them.

The view opens one of the main symbols of Prague, Charles Bridge, a 520-meter long structure that allows you to cross the waters of the Prague Vltava River to the other side. The history of the bridge dates back several centuries to the 14th century, so it is associated with many memorable events. For example, the Royal Route, by which Czech monarchs arrived for coronation, passed over it. Today, the bridge is the most important tourist attraction, as it connects the two most important historical districts of Prague, where many of the city's attractions are concentrated.
