Prague Live Cam

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, located in the heart of Europe. The city has a long and fascinating history that spans over a thousand years.

The earliest recorded history of Prague dates back to the 9th century when a castle was built on a hill overlooking the Vltava River. The castle eventually became the seat of power for the ruling princes of Bohemia and later the Kings of Bohemia. During the reign of King Charles IV in the 14th century, Prague became one of the most important cities in Europe, known for its rich culture, architecture, and art.

In the 15th century, Prague experienced a period of religious reform and intellectual growth, with the establishment of the University of Prague in 1348, the first university in Central Europe. However, the city was also marked by religious conflicts between the Catholic and Protestant faiths, culminating in the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century.
