Praha / Prague / Praga / Prag

The city of a hundred spires

On the other side of the river Vltava is Prazsky Hrad: The biggest ancient castle in the world.

Also visible in the background is the Charles Bridge. There is a modern legend saying that the foundation stone of the bridge was laid in 1357 on the 7th day of the 9th month at 5:31 AM and that Charles IV chose this time so that when one writes out the opening time, they write the sequence of odd numbers, 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1.
