But we did enjoyed it to watch. On the background the Nový královský palác (New Royal Palace).

Built in the 9th century, the castle has long served as the seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. As such, the term &quot;Prague Castle&quot; or simply &quot;Hrad&quot; (&quot;the Castle&quot;) are often used as metonymy for the president and his staff and advisors. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it.<br /> <br /> According to the Guinness Book of Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, occupying an area of almost 70,000 square metres, at about 570 metres in length and an average of about 130 metres wide. The castle is the most visited tourist attraction in the Czech Republic. In 2024, the castle attracted 2.59 million visitors. <br /> <br /> The history of the castle began in 870 when its first walled building, the Church of the Virgin Mary, was built. The Basilica of Saint George and the Basilica of St. Vitus were founded under the reign of Vratislaus I, Duke of Bohemia and his son Wenceslaus I in the first half of the 10th century.<br /> <br /> King Ottokar II of Bohemia improved fortifications and rebuilt the royal palace for the purposes of representation and housing. In the 14th century, under the reign of Charles IV the royal palace was rebuilt in Gothic style and the castle fortifications were strengthened. In place of the rotunda and basilica of St. Vitus, building began of a vast Gothic church, that were completed almost six centuries later.<br /> <br /> In 1918, the castle became the seat of the president of the new Czechoslovak Republic, Tomáš Masaryk. The New Royal Palace and the gardens were renovated by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. In this period the St. Vitus Cathedral was finished on 28 September 1929. Renovations continued in 1936 under Plečnik's successor Pavel Janák.<br /> <br /> Prague Castle's architecture is a unique blend of styles from different periods, reflecting its long and complex history. Gothic, Baroque and Classicism. <br /> <br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_Castle" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Prague Castle</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/199881521@N06/">A*EDP</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/199881521@N06/55010313795/" title="Mirror (Prague 7/2025)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55010313795_5e365fda51_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Mirror (Prague 7/2025)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/roli_b/">roli_b</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/roli_b/55009813356/" title="Water Powerstation Stvanice Elektrarna Prague Praha"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009813356_722e41a17d_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Water Powerstation Stvanice Elektrarna Prague Praha" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/stevechaplinsrailwaypanorama/">Steveo46240</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/stevechaplinsrailwaypanorama/55010107235/" title="193 682-2 Lovocise 03/04/25"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55010107235_783858565b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="193 682-2 Lovocise 03/04/25" /></a></p> <p>Vectron 193 682-2 &quot;Dalibor&quot; approaches Lovocise with a Southbound passenger service.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fam_nordstrom/">fam_nordstrom</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fam_nordstrom/55009472386/" title="Replica vintage cars used for sightseeing tours, Prague, Czech Republic"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009472386_528c13569b_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Replica vintage cars used for sightseeing tours, Prague, Czech Republic" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fam_nordstrom/">fam_nordstrom</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fam_nordstrom/55009649683/" title="Replica vintage cars used for sightseeing tours, Prague, Czech Republic"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009649683_9f9cdf45ac_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Replica vintage cars used for sightseeing tours, Prague, Czech Republic" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/157509912@N06/">Thierry LARERE</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/157509912@N06/55009383608/" title="Lustre dans la synagogue Klaus"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009383608_44c9c725fa_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Lustre dans la synagogue Klaus" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/157509912@N06/">Thierry LARERE</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/157509912@N06/55009383553/" title="Scooter &quot;Vespa Primavera 50 4T&quot;"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009383553_160cbae06f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Scooter &quot;Vespa Primavera 50 4T&quot;" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jaus/">Jauss</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaus/55009402399/" title="Affiche de Mucha"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55009402399_e84babd4f3_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Affiche de Mucha" /></a></p> <p>Pour le papier à rouler Job</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/vmachek/">vmachek</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/vmachek/55007386732/" title="2025-12-13_Q2_086"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55007386732_3afe90484d_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="2025-12-13_Q2_086" /></a></p> <p>Prague</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/makovonmako/">MakoVonMako</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/makovonmako/55008042996/" title="4. 2. 2024 I 3 150 517 I Úvaly -
