Vysehrad

We took the metro to Vysehrad Station and walked to  Vysehrad or "castle on the height". It is a lovely park on top of a hill.






King Vratislav I moved here from Prague Castle in 1070 and it became the seat of the ruling Monarch for 70 years before his successors returned to Prague Castle.





Statue of Premysl and Princess Libuse

Princess Libuse was the first woman to rule Prague. She married Premysl and they founded the Premyslid Dynasty that lasted 400 years.
