Prague is the historic capital of Bohemia and the capital city of Czech Republic. It is amongst the most beautiful cities in the world with medieval gothic-style buildings. The Prague Castle is the largest castle compound in the world. This city boasts many historical buildings and monuments. The historic center of Prague has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the 16 World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic since 1992. The monuments that are listed in this video are:

1:05 Vyšehrad [According to old legends, it is the oldest seat of Czech princes, but in reality the local castle was built around the half of the 10th century. From the rocky outcrop above the Vltava, the castle offers a unique view of Prague. The park hides architectural treasures, such as the valuable Romanesque rotunda of St. Martin from the 11th century, the neo-Gothic church of St. Peter and Paul, the Slavín national burial site and the underground coffers with originals of some baroque statues from the Charles Bridge].
2:45 Petrin Tower [58.7-meter tall tower with 299 steps. A birds eye view of the whole city of Prague can be seen from the top of this tower]
4:45 Old Town Center
5:45 Astronomical Clock [A whole series of stories is linked to the Old Town Hall. The symbol of the sun is reminiscent of the one associated with the Old Town Apostle Clock. We find the sun attached to the main clock hand, which carries it across the dial. At the same time, it also shifts up and down in the same way as it appears in the sky over the course of the year, because the Apostle Clock is an astronomical clock and the astrolabe is an essential element of it]
8:40 Old Town Bridge Tower [At the Old Town Tower, the observant eye can glimpse the kingfisher in the love knot, a looped strip of fabric reminiscent of a bather's towel. It is the personal symbol of King Wenceslas IV and combines two legends].
8:50 Lesser Town Bridge Tower [The symbol of the Lesser Town Bridge (the so-called Judith) tower is an 8-pointed cross of the Order of the Knights of Malta. Its first appearance in the lands of the Czech Republic was founded at the end of the 12th century on the left bank of the Vltava and the originally Romanesque Judith Tower was part of the fortifications that protected the Maltese (then Johanniter) monastery].
