Prague - the city of mysticism

Travelling to Czechia was planned very carefuly. I read about Prague very much. The capital of Czechia seems me like one great pleace of mystery.
In the photo is classical panorama of Prague. It was taken from open plaza near the St.Vitt cathedral. From this place can see bridges over Vltava River. The most famous of them is Charles bridge.

Prague's architecture

The palace of Valenshtein

Czechia was prosper country in the time when both wolrd wars were in Europe, because Czechia's teritory was spoiled minimal. There are very impressive architecture.
One of the grandious palaces is Valenshtein palace. Valenshtein was very rich Czech officer. He invested the money to big palace's complex building. Many beautiful buildings with genteel parks and morvelouse waterworks were built on Valenshteins money.
