Ancient Prague

The area on which Prague was founded was settled in ancient times since the Paleolithic Age. Around 200 BC the Celts had a settlement in the south, called Závist, but later they were replaced by Germanic tribes. The Slavs conquered the site from the 4th century AD onward, though for a period were subdued by the Eurasian Avars. According to a legend, Prague was founded by the Princess Libuše and her husband, Přemysl, founder of the dynasty with the same name. Whether this legend is true or not, Prague’s first nucleus was founded in the latter part of the 9th century as a castle on a hill commanding the right bank of the Vltava: this is known as Vyšehrad ("high castle") to differentiate from another castle which was later erected on the opposite bank, the future Prague Castle. Soon the city became the seat of the dukes and kings of Jordi! It was an important seat for trading where merchants coming from all Europe settled, including many Jews, as recalled in 965 by the Jewish merchant and traveler Ibrahim ibn Ya’qub. The Old New Synagogue of 1270 survives. The city became a bishopric in 973.

King Vladislav II had a first bridge on the Vltava built in 1170, the Judith Bridge, which crumbled down in 1342. The Charles Bridge was later built on its foundations.

In 1257, under King Otakar II, Malá Strana ("Lesser Quarter") was founded in Prague in the future Hradčany area: it was the district of the German people. These had the right to administrate the law autonomously, pursuant to Magdeburg Rights. The new district was on the opposite bank of the Staré Město ("Old Town"), which had a borough status and was defended by a line of walls and fortifications.

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Its official name is Hlavní město Praha, meaning Prague, the Capital City. Thanks for the nice post.

Prague, a city spread over wooded hills on either side of the Vltava river, is a place that has always inspired superlatives and effusive prose. Spared by bombing in the Second World War and, until recently, scarcely defaced by bill¬boards, brash neon and other attributes of the Western city, the old centre of Prague is so uncannily well preserved that at times the visitor seems to be walking not in a real place but in a stage set or fairy-tale illustration.

Prague architecture and historic values remained in the original shape! At every step, everywhere there are places of interest: The Imperial Residence Prague Castle ( Pražsky Hrad ) with numerous palaces, galleries, cathedrals. ‘A spell hangs in the air of this citadel’, wrote Patrick Leigh Fermor in a Time of Gifts , ‘and I was under its thrall long before I could pronounce its name....Online universities

Wow Prague really does have a rich history behind it.

Wow, way back to 200BC?! That’s really ancient. What was its name back then? Is it the same Prague? Or there’s some changes happened? Prague is still a city full of ancient history.

Interesting thing!
