๐ง Fun fact
Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world, spans over 70,000 square meters. It has been the seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. One of the most intriguing features of the castle complex is the "Golden Lane," a picturesque street lined with colorful houses. Legend has it that alchemists once lived there, attempting to create gold and the philosopher's stone under the orders of Emperor Rudolf II. The castle's St. Vitus Cathedral took almost 600 years to complete, beginning in 1344 and finishing in 1929.
