Vysehrad
 

Vysehrad is a great fortress, located on the top of a hill, with the look out over the River Vlatava River and Prague. It existed in the 10th Century and is the subject of a old legend. The legend says Princess Libuse stands upon the Vysherad hill and predicts the rising of a powerful city, where Prague stands today.
Historically Vysehrad was the part of the Royal Route where czech kings about to be crowned would have to first pay tribute to their predecessor and it also was the royal residence of Vratislav II. This Royal Route lead from Hradcany to Vysehrad Castle.

Vysehrad is on of the Prague's graetes castles. The Cathedral of Saint Paul and Peter, as well as the Vysehrad cemetery, containing the remains of czech famous historical people are located within the Vysehrad castle.
Vysehrad became part of the Prague, capital city, in 1883. The area is one of the cadastral districts of the city.
The centrepiece is the Church of St. Peter and Paul whose mysterious shape stands grandly upon the hill over looking the River Vltava and can be clearly seen from the Prague castle. Every inch of the interior is immaculately covered with decorations much like those on the pages of an illustrated manuscript, thus making one of the most beautiful interiors in Prague. A small fee is required for this viewing pleasure.

Vysehrad being the birthplace of Prague (it was the site of the original castle around the 10thcentury) it is appropriate that its great artists, scribes, musicians and politicians lie buried in the cemetery adjacent to the church. Most notable are the graves of Dvorak, Smetana, Alpons Mucha and many others whose tombs lie among a vast expenditure of elaborate gravestones, mosaics and flower beds. See on the back wall for a map of the place.
The gardens that are surrounding the Vysehrad church are peaceful and beautyful. There are some nice views of the River Vltava, a couple of quite restaurants to visit and some enormous statues depicting figures in Czech Mythology to examine. Any time of day is a good time to visit. Take a morning off and bring a picnic lunch, few areas of Prague are as quiet, green and peaceful. Take a walk through the Vysehrad and come down to quite gardens, or look on the great view from the Nusselsky most, the highest bridge in Prague.
