Accome Julis - Prague, Czech Republic     

Wenceslas Square (Czech: Václavské náměstí)
This is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural life in the New Town of Prague. On the upper end, the square is bordered by the grand neoclassical building of the Czech National Museum. In 1989, during the Velvet Revolution, large demonstrations were held here.

Czech National Museum
The National Museum was founded in 1818 and is the largest institution of its kind in the Czech Republic. It consists of five specialized institutions: The Natural Science Museum, The History Museum, The National Museum Library, The Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Culture and The Czech Museum of Music.

Old Town Square
Around 1230 Wenceslas I had the houses on the right bank of the Vltava encircled by walls, giving rise to the first town of Prague. Its heart and a witness of the most important events in the history of the Czech nation became the Old Town Square with its dominant features - the town hall with an astronomical clock; St Nicholas' Church, the Rococo Kinský Palace (part of the National Gallery) and the towers of the Church of Our Lady Before Týn to name just a few.

Charles Bridge
Originally called the Prague or Stone Bridge, it stands on the site of the previous wooden Judith Bridge, which was destroyed by a flood. Back in the 12th century, the latter bridge was one of the oldest stone structures of its kind in Europe. With its 16 piers, a length of 520 m and a width of 9.5 m, the bridge was one of the mightiest marvels of engineering at the time of its construction. Since the turn of the 18th century, the bridge has been graced with 30 statues and groups of sculptures depicting saints.
