For a thousand years Prague Castle in the Hradcany royal complex has towered above the river Vltava. Industrious building on the castle began in the late 9th century when the royal Premyslid family took power over the united Czech territories. Saint George Basilica, Saint Vitus Cathedral, and a convent were erected within the fortress walls.
