Prague Castle is the oldest functioning residence of the head of state in Europe and as such has undergone profound changes during more than a thousand years of its existence. In addition to an outline of its architectural evolution the reader is offered fascinating glimpses of the turbulent history of Prague Castle. The book is packed with interesting information about the rulers, artists and politicians who entered its walls. Where it is necessary to provide a wider historical background, the book exceeds here and there the limits suggested by its title.
