About Prague Castle
Prague Castle, the world's largest ancient castle, dates back to the 9th century. It encompasses Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, the picturesque Golden Lane, and the Old Royal Palace. This historical gem offers panoramic views of Prague, houses the Bohemian Crown Jewels, and reflects centuries of architectural evolution.
Prague Castle has been recorded as the largest coherent castle complex in the world by Guinness World Records.
The castle's iconic St. Vitus Cathedral took almost 600 years to complete, with construction starting in 1344 and finishing in 1929.
Inside the castle complex, you'll find the Lobkowicz Palace, the only privately owned building inside the Prague Castle complex. It houses one of the oldest and largest private art collections in Central Europe.
The Golden Lane is the most picturesque place inside the castle complex and features tiny brightly colored houses.
Prague Castle houses the unique Daliborka Tower, which was once used as a prison and is named after the knight Dalibor of Kozojedy, who was held captive there.
