Eyes great. Whos glory and reach to the stars here you shall build a castle and call it. A child the gun. That is my office is. Where i am the prophetess legend has it that i am the mother of prague i saw this all her long. And he was bill. Would you like to accompany me on a brief journey through time. In the beginning was the river the latter of course everything began with her here my city of prague was born a thousand years ago. Thanks to be honest she was only a little tassel at first a backwater of history until the fourteenth century there came a ruler who made her the center of Europe Charles the fourth king of bohemia and holy Roman Emperor a visionary who planned everything in style with him progs golden age began he summoned the best architects. Prague castle rock county became his residence the hub of the Holy Roman Empire three courtyards the cathedral the royal palace forty thousand square meters of power and imposing labyrinth to which each succeeding century made its additions saint vitus cathedral the consummate union of the power of church and state and we owe it to charles the fourth for me the cathedral is a holy place the place where our kings were crowned the stone seemed to defy gravity. The gallery above the choir ambulatory charles the fourth the emperor found an emperor among architects to carry out his work was summoned to prague page apollo was just twenty three years old a genius he was to take the gothic and develop it was. This room of the cathedral is a really great in itself. Chapel apollo dedicated it to our patron saint good King Wenceslas the First Christian to occupy the throne of bohemia the saint was murdered by his brother one of many victims in the history of my city. This is no route a street which leads from the Broward County down to charles bridge with its renaissance and baroque facades a jewel of urban architecture. The signs are a reminder of the un bureaucratic days before house numbers were introduced the broken spoke. The swan but the stories they tell theyre much more appropriate to these houses than mere numbers. Casanova danced and mozart feasted here amidst the proud nobility as they held their glittering balls and banquets. Every city has a place which mirrors its own more than any other for me in prague this is charles bridge the embodiment of barack sensibility a stone avenue of saints real and imaginary each one is a legend. Saint john of new pomo the king of bohemia had him thrown into the lot tava from here because he refused to betray the secrets of the queens confessional hes been the patron saint of bridges ever since and well beyond the bounds of the czech lands prague has specialized in getting rid of nuisances and such ways by throwing them off bridges or more famously out of windows or simply just strangling them other images of charles the fourth as a young ruler and in his old age from the tower which guards the bridge he looks out on prague with its population in his day of checks germans and jews. Three peoples three languages three souls a magic mixture often fruitful often frightful we need look no further than religion. Young whos a fundamentalist a leading player in the drama for religious and National Renewal and unbending preacher who delivered inflammatory diatribes against the moral decay of the clergy and the Holy Alliance between church and crown for all those whose privileges depended on the system a dangerous fellow so it was that in spite of being given a safe conduct he was summarily arrested and burnt as a heretic by the council of constance in fourteen fifteen the result was that the movement for reform became a revolution but the underlying conflicts remained for yet it was more than two hundred years before the second act of the drama took place. The place rock county the year sixteen eighteen the twenty third of may i remember it as if it were yesterday from this window to hated arch catholic imperial emissaries were thrown to land more or less softly on a convenient dunghill. There it was then the second and more fateful defenestration of prague a trivial incident in itself but its far better off than thirty years of war. It turned Central Europe into one great battlefield my country was in the middle of it and lost her freedom to the Catholic Habsburg emperors in vienna. The period following the thirty years war is known to the rest of europe as the age of the barrage but we czechs call it. The age of darkness. Through the churches are magnificent but they represent the harmony of the hapsburgs the victors of course there are exceptions and strong of monasteries perhaps the finest near wisdom has built herself a house. Since its founding in the twelfth century strong has been home to a Library Without parallel in the world. Half a million volumes a priceless door of manuscripts into nabila and ancient maps the monasteries oldest and most precious possession is the manuscript of the stronghold gospels its a long story how this codex found its way to prague and ill show you another form of wisdom. In the old Jewish Cemetery the wisdom of the word became the wisdom of the stones they tell the story of the jews of my city a story of sadness and death persecution and expulsion a story as old as prague itself. How many graves are here no one knows one hundred fifty thousand perhaps many are dilapidated they look as if they have run from the ground there was little space in the ghetto so fresh earth was continually being heaped upon the old graves to make room for new ones graves upon graves. The ancient Jewish Cemetery this is prague too like the palaces the churches and the bridges like the stories of artists and warriors rulers and saints those who destroyed the city and those who rebuilt a magic mixture indeed.
