Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, the heart of Europe, and is crossed by 31 km from the river Vltava. More than one million people live in this city, founded in the ninth century. Traces its history can be found in every corner of Prague, from mansions to streets of cobblestone, through the numerous monuments. Its historic center (in the district Prague 1), with Europe's largest medieval castle and its winding streets, was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Prague, surrounded by nine hills, is called "the city of 100 towers" for the large number of them.
