Back to Prague after some years. The castle.

The Prague Castle is a complex which includes several buildings two churches and some museums. Its construction was begun in the 9th century. It was expanded and renovated through the centuries. One of its main sights is Saint Vitus Cathedral. In this pic you see part of its bell tower.

Saint Vitus Cathedral is a large church dating from the 14th century. Its construction was only built in the last century. There are lots of chapels and tombs inside this church.

Here you can see a little bit of the tomb of Saint John Nepomucenus. It is a very large and high tomb built by silver.

The Golden Lane. This short street is lined with small colorful houses. Several centuries ago they were inhabited by castle guards and by goldsmiths.

Today several houses at the Golden Lane are furnished with old furniture and various items.

 

   

Some houses at this street are used as souvenirs shops.

Somebody went to the cinema. There is a small cinema inside one of the houses.

The day I visited the Royal Palace; another highlight of the castle was closed to visitors unfortunately. I visited it years ago. I didn't find it interesting. Probably because I hadn't read much about the castle.
