A thousand years of history is cradled within the walls of Prague's hilltop castle,
a complex of churches, towers, halls and palaces that is almost a village in its
own right. This is the cultural and historical heart of the Czech Republic, comprising
not only collections of physical treasures, such as the golden reliquaries of St Vitus
Treasury and the Bohemian crown jewels, but also the sites of great historic events
such as the murder of St Wenceslas and the Second Defenestration of Prague.
