2. Prague Castle
Prague Castle is actually a castle complex located in the Czech Republic, and is the world’s largest ancient castle. Bohemian kings and Roman Emperors once occupied the space, and even modern-day presidents of the region have held office there. The first walled building of Prague Castle was built back in 870, and was called the Church of the Virgin Mary. Bohemia’s first convent was also founded in Prague Castle. In 1541, most of the castle was destroyed in a fire, and under the Habsburg rule, new buildings in the Renaissance style were built. After WWII, Alexander Dubcek was seen waving to the people of the country on the balcony of Prague Castle as a symbol of the freedom of democracy.
