I've been there!Explora el fascinante pasado de Prague y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
The first settlers in the area were the Boios, a Celtic people, followed by Germanics, Slavs and Avars. The city began to form around the Premyslid castle in the 10th century, establishing itself as an important settlement in the Bohemian region.
In the 14th century, under the reign of Charles IV, Prague became the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and underwent great urban and cultural development. During the Middle Ages and early modern times, the city was a key political and economic center in Central Europe.
In the 20th century, Prague suffered the consequences of two world wars and the Nazi occupation, followed by Soviet influence during the Cold War. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the city transformed towards a market economy and established itself as a global tourist destination and a modern and dynamic city.
