Vysehrad - Historical District
The fortification on the rocky cliff on the right bank of the river Vltava, with its two towers
of St Peter and Paul's Church, which dominates the southern part of historical Prague, dates back
to ancient times. The cliff was supposedly the seat of the ancient dukes and knights of Czech
mythology. According to a myth princess Libue founded the dynasty of the Pemyslic rulers from
Vysehrad. Emperor Charles IV had Vyehrad reconstructed, but in 1420 it was destroyed by the Hussites.
In 1654, rebuilding as a Baroque fort, whose walls and three gates are still preserved today, was
started.
The oldest building in the fortress is the Romanesque St. Martin Rotunda (11th century). The
pseudo-Gothic St. Peter and Paul's Church stands in the middle of the Vyehrad Park with Art Noveaus
decoration by Alfons Mucha. There are other monuments, such as stone statue groups inspired by the
Czech mythology (sculpted by J.V.Myslbek at the end of the 19th century). The most memorable place
is the Vysehrad cemetry, where famous Czech personalities such as Smetana, Mucha and Myslbek are
buried.
The Vysehrad district is a picturesque part of Prague, which attracts tourists from all over
the world. Apart from the former Vysehrad castle it is also famous for its buildings in Czech Cubism
style.
