An ancient symbol of the Czech lands – it is the most significant Czech monument and one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic.

The first temple of our country, where for ages the hopes, fears and longings of past generations have been formed, where the ecclesiastic and the worldly power have been meeting and where various Czech princes, kings, emperors and archbishops repose.

Is a street situated at the Prague Castle. Its name is connected with 16th century alchemists, who had to look there, according to legends, for a reaction to produce gold. Even though the lane was temporarily called the Street of Alchemists or Alchemists’ Alley, alchemists have never worked or lived there. House no. 22 is connected with Franz Kafka, Czech-Jewish writer, who used this house for approximately two years (from 1916 to 1917) coming here to write in peace.
