Beauties of Czech Republic: unusual views of Prague Castle

avatar

Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!

Built more than a millennium ago, as early as in the 9th century, the Prague Castle is the most famous, visited and photographed tourist attraction of Prague as well as the entire country.

I think it is no exaggeration to say that thousands of photos of this iconic Prague landmark are taken by tourists every single day. However, there are actually very few locations that those scenic photos are taken from. Basically, people photograph the castle from the central brides (with the Charles Bridge being the most popular one) or they click their shots from right bank of the Vltava River (typically from the Smetana Embankment and in the close vicinity of it).

Nevertheless, because of the central and elevated location of the castle, you can take some really cool photos of it from many other places. Let me show you some of them. The following two photos of the Prague Castle were taken from the Great Strahov Garden, a beautiful large garden and orchard that was founded centuries ago in the medieval era.

This photo was taken from the Vlasska Street that connects the Petrin Hill with the urban part of the Lesser Town.

Did you know that, with a total area of almost 70,000 sq m (750,000 sq ft), the Prague Castle is known to be the largest ancient castle in the world? A former seat of ancient kings of Bohemia and even Roman emperors, the castle is now the official seat of the Czech President.

Jo funguje :) Čekal jsem, jestli je nepřivolá někdo jiný a když se k tomu nikdo neměl, tak jsem to udělal sám :D Byla by škoda tu kapacitu nevyužít. Jen mě mrzí, že se mi to zatím nepodařilo rozšířit do #cesky. Snad ty nominace zase brzy spustí. Díky za pivo :)

Proč to nevyužít, když je to možné. Těším se na nominaci, až to půjde ;)
Není zač, v Plzni máme piva dostatek :-)

A true beauty to behold. The last time I was there they had this massive military parade through the castle. I should do a post about it one day.

Amazing scenarios I must say. No wonder the images were taken from very nice spots and moreover the scenic beauty of Prague is shown much more from you images.
Keep them coming buddy !!

Dáš něco o Petřínu? Vždycky se všichni divili, že není zastavěný. Až tam postavili lanovku a pár budov. A ono to padá. Lanovkla se skoro pořád musí opravovat. Jsou tam složité hydrogeologické poměry. Každá těžší stavba ve svahu doslova klouže dolů s kopce...
Nemluvě o tom, že Karel IV. si to tu vybral za shromždiště budoucí křížové výpravy k osvobození Svatého hrobu z rukou nevěřících.
