PRAGUE CASTLE

The Castle was founded in the 9th century. Some remains of an original church remain but the castle was rebuilt in the 1500's after a bad fire. Since 1918 this has been the seat of the President of the Republic, although today's Presidents use it only for ceremonial affairs. My cousins have played some concerts here. The grounds are dominated by St. Vitus Cathedral.
