Vysehrad Castle


Before the city of Prague, the Prague basin met the Slavic tribes in the 5th century. In the period between 870 to 890, Prince Borivoj of the Czech tribe founded a castle named Praha overlooking the Vltava river. This important event is a point in Czech history when a state with a principal city was formed.This castle was the seat of the Premyslid family. Then in the first half of the 10th Century, on the other side of the Vltava, another castle was built, Vysehrad.
