Magical, mystical, beautiful is just one part of the
atmosphere of Prague, the main capital of the Czech Republic. Situated in the
heart of Europe, captivated by a distinctive architectural tradition, it also
seeks an important crossroads of the possibility of happiness and art and
scientists from around the world. As a popular tourist destination, Prague is
proudly occupying the sixth place in European language expansions.
Prague can be found under various synonyms: The City of 100
Peaks, The Heart of Europe, The Mother of Cities. But did you know that this
city is also known as Golden Prague?
One theory related to the name Golden Prague says that this
epithet was added to it during the reign of Czech King Charles IV, when the
towers of the Prague Castle were covered with gold.
Another theory about Golden Prague is related to the rule of
Rudolf II, who hired alchemists to convert ordinary metals into gold.
