Apart from being declared as a city of love, Prague probably is one of the best destination for any medieval architecture junkie, with its well preserved Gothic and Romanesque monuments. Here are some of my best snap shots while walking around Prague’s old district.
A massive, fortified complex of churches and palaces, the UNESCO-listed Prague Castle is definitely on top of the list. Located on top of the hill across the Vlatava River, the complex offers the best panoramic views to see the lovely city.St. Vitus Cathedral
The Rose window of this cathedral
The two guys below the rose window were the architects of this Palace complex
Drinking fountains can be found around Prague old district. This on the photo with two holes is an interesting one.
