Since
pre-historic times, Prague has been an important trade
center. Its location at the Vltava river in the center
of Europe proved ideal. It became the political center
of Bohemia, and in the 10th century, it also became a
religious center. In the 14th century, Prague had become
the most important city of Central Europe. After emperor
Charles IV had all the city gates' roofs covered with
lead, Prague was dubbed the 'Golden City'. It would remain
one of the most influential cities in Europe until the
20th century.
Today 'the City
of a Hundred Spires' is a magnet for tourists, with
numerous magnificent towers and churches.
