4. The original residence building, mostly wooden, was built at Prague Castle already at the turn of the 9th and 10th century. Its exact location is not documented. It was prince Soběslav in the 12th century who had a stone Romanesque palace built right next to a new fortification wall. Remains of it have been preserved in the underground till the present times. The palace was adjoined on its eastern side by All Saints' Chapel, which was consecrated in 1185.

About Prag

Pragas skyline af spir rejser sig over Vltava, med en borg på bakken, en bro kantet af statuer og en næsten intakt middelalderlig bydel.

Pragborgen, et af verdens største borgkomplekser, kroner bakken Hradčany, med Sankt Vitus-katedralen i midten og Guldmagergadens små huse gemt bagved. Nedenfor fører Lillesidens barokpaladser og terrassehaver ned til Karlsbroen, kantet af helgenstatuer og travl fra daggry.

Top-ranked sights in Prag: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
