Prague (Philip's City Guides) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This illustrated guide to the 1000-year-old city of Prague covers its history, cultural heritage, architecture, literature, art, folk traditions and people. Despite a turbulent history of invasions and rebellions, conquests and uprisings and years of oppression, Prague has retained not only its character, but also much of its beautiful architecture from all periods - Romanesque in St George's Basilica, Gothic in St Vitus' Cathedral, and Renaissance, baroque and neo-classical palaces, houses and churches. The book details seven tours of exploration of the city and its museums, galleries, churches, cafes, squares and side-streets, and appendices provide detailed information on its history, rulers, artists, writers, monuments, buildings and opening times.
