The largest ancient castle still standing today. Unfortunately, it was raining!

First, St. Vitus Cathedral:

Charles Bridge

Work on the bridge was started in the middle of the 14th century but was not completed until early 15th century. It was the only way of of crossing the river Vltava until 1841.

It was so full of tourists like me that it was hard to get any good pictures!

Astronomical Clock!

Over 600 years old and still working! Shortly after completion, the designer was deliberately blinded so he could never make a rival clock.
