Prague is located on the Vltava River in the central Bohemian region of what is now the Czech Republic. Some sources say it was founded in 880 A.D., but there have been settlements on the Vltava since Paleolithic times. Prague is a city of castles, cathedrals and orange tile roofs. We wandered about it for hours.
Europeans, much more than Americans, are conscious of history. One cannot visit this place without being aware of a past which produced magnificent monuments to faith but included acts of monstrous intolerance.
