Prague Castle was built on a strategic place in the 9th century by Duke Premyslid. In the following centuries, it was often rebuilt, reflecting different architectural styles. During the First Republic period when T.G. Masaryk was the President, Josip Plecnik, a well known architect renovated the Castle. In 1918 Prague Castle became the residence of the Czechoslovak President. Nowadays, in the area of Prague Castle various cultural events and expositions are held and a voluminous collection of masterpieces is displayed in the Picture Gallery.

Some of the notable buildings lining the square include the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, built in the gothic style, the baroque St. Nicholas Church, and Old Town Hall. Old Town Hall is renowned for the medieval astronomical clock that adorns its wall. First installed in 1410, the clock is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest in operation. It still chimes hourly to this day, and large crowds gather to watch the procession of the Twelve Apostles. In the center of Old Town square stands a statue of Jan Hus, a prominent figure in the Bohemian Reformation who was burned at the stake for his beliefs. During the holiday seasons of Christmas and Easter, medieval style markets are held in the square along with a variety of performances.

Several cathedrals claimed this location as theirs, a Romanesque rotunda, several basilicas, until Emperor Charles IV founded a High Gothic cathedral in 1344. This architectural masterpiece took over six centuries to construct, with breaks during the more turbulent times in Czech history. It ;was finally consecrated in 1929 to the patron saints of Czech lands: St. Vitus, St. Wenceslas and St. Vojtech. The cathedral is the home to Czech religion life, and contains impressive icons, stained glass windows, and chapels that honor its patrons. Today, it contains the crown jewels and tombs of past rulers. It is one of the main tourist attractions of the castle complex.

The most known one refers to the building of the bridge: it's said that workers used to add raw eggs into the mortar because they believed that the it will make the bridge stronger. The "Stone Bridge" or "Prague Bridge" was built by Charles IV with the foundation stone laid in 1357. The bridge is 515 meter long and 10 meters wide. In the 17th century it was decorated with statues of saints and other sculptures. They were commissioned to prestigious Baroque sculptors: M. Braun and F. M. Brokoff, although only replicas line the bridge. Art and souvenir vendors line the bridge along with musicians during daylight hours and into the night. The ambiance of Charles Bridge is unforgettable experience in any time of the day.
