The Gallery > Prague > Vysehrad Fortress

The Vysehrad is a good walk from the town centre, but it's well worth it (and you can get the Metro back)

Originally built in 1085, it served as the powerhouse of Prague, before rule transferred to Prague Castle in C12th

This is the neo-gothic Church of Sts Peter and Paul, found within the walls

   
The National Cemetery - rather nice monuments for dead famous Czech people    
     
Dvorak, of composer-fame    
     
View from the fortress to the east
