Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Since the early Middle Ages, Prague has been considered one of Europe's most beautiful cities with its hundreds of spires reaching into the sky. Despite a history filled with violent upheavals and bitter occupations, Prague remains a vibrant city known for its world-famous architecture, culture, historic monuments, and natural beauty.Experience the magnificent beauty and often-tragic history of this 'Golden City' through seventy pairs of remarkable photographs.Stand atop Prague's most familiar monument, the Charles Bridge (completed in 1400), for a magnificent vista of the city; a fascinating inset photo illustrates the destruction of the bridge after a flood in 1890.Visit Golden Lane, home to the city's goldsmiths in the 17th century and later to author Franz Kafka.Marvel at then-and-now images of treasures like St. Vitus' Cathedral (it's first stone was laid in 1344 by Emperor Charles IV!) and St. George's Basilica (founded in the 10th century).Today, Prague is a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world. This is a tour you won't want to miss!
