'I see a big city, whose glory will touch the stars. There, in the woods by the Vltava River, you will find a man making a threshold on the house. According to the work that a person does, we will name the city - Prague. '
This prophecy of the mythical princess Libushi determined the name of one of the most beautiful European cities. It was founded in the 9th century, but it gained its greatest fame and "golden" splendor in the 19th century. Even then, it was always depicted as a castle with a hundred towers, which is why it got the nickname it still bears today. He got the nickname "golden" after the gilded domes. According to legend, Charles IV ordered the towers to be covered with gold in the 14th century, so that they could shine in the sun and could be seen from a great distance. You can see this beauty even today because the city was spared great destruction in World War II.
