Prague Castle Complex
The Prague Castle complex is the largest medieval castle complex in Europe and seat for the President of the Republic. It is a must for all visitors to Prague and is comprised of many buildings, including several palaces, the Gothic Saint Vitus Cathedral, St George's Basilica and the beautiful and enchanting Golden Lane. The fourteenth-century cathedral was completed only at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is the burial place of numerous Bohemian kings and emperors. In the old royal palace you can admire the throne hall with its precious Gothic vault. Golden Lane is a small street lined by colored houses that are set on a wall of fortification. According to legends, the alchemists of Rudolf II of Habsburg had their laboratories here.
