'Built between the 11th and 18th
centuries, the Old Town, the Lesser Town and the New Town speak of the great architectural and
cultural influence enjoyed by this city since the Middle Ages. The many magnificent monuments, such
as Hradcani Castle, St Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge and numerous churches and palaces, were
built mostly in the 14th century under the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV.'
