. Legend has it that Princess Libuse (heroine of an opera) and her husbamd Premysl looked across the river to where Prague Castle now stands and foretold the building of a great city. They crossed the river and discovered a man already building the threshold - PRAH - so hence the city's name.
There is a lovely mosaic of this in the Town Hall Lobby.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
