Prague is said to be amongst one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Hearing how amazing, and awe-inspiring the city is from those who have visited, I had a hard time envisioning what the Castle and the city might look like.
The originality, in my opinion, is what makes Prague such a beautiful city. The hundreds of years of different architecture make this city a melting pot of culture. The city’s buildings display a timetable of the most popular architectures of their own specific era.
Prague has been able to keep these immaculate buildings in tact and in their original form because of an important decision made by Emiel Hacha, the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, in 1939. When pressed with the threat of Nazi invasion and bombardment, he surrendered his city to the Third Reich.
Walking around touring the Castle, appreciating the intense detail of each building, Emiel Hacha deserves credit. Making the decision to surrender and not resist the Nazi Regime protected the city’s beautiful architectural time line and shear beauty.
