Prague has been the capital of the Czech state for eleven centuries. It originated as a settlement around the Prague Castle which was established around the year 880.

During the 13th century the communities at the foot of the castle were awarded the liberties of a city and the twin cities of Old Town and Lesser Town were created.

By establishing the New Town in 1348, the Emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg made Prague into one of the metropolises of Europe of the Middle Ages. He decorated it with many public buildings and works of art and also established here the first university in Central Europe, which is in the region north of the Alps and east of France.
During the years 1583 - 1612, the great art enthusiast Emperor Rudolph II of Habsburg selected the Prague castle as his permanent residence and thereby Prague became renowned as the centre of artists and scholars.In 1784 the Emperor Joseph II merged the Prague towns, which until than were independent (Old Town, New Town, Lesser Town and Hradcany) into a single Capital City of Prague.
