What is the significance of Prague Square?

Prague is the political, economic and cultural center of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Located in the center of the European continent, it is distributed on seven hills, and vltava river winds through it. Population 1 193000, covering an area of 496 square kilometers. There are 22 districts in this city. The average altitude is 235 meters, which belongs to a typical continental climate. Average temperature in July 19.5 degrees, 1 month -0.9 degrees.

Vltava river, like a green jade belt, divides the city into two parts. The steep mountain walls on both sides of the river gradually disappeared into the undulating Yuan Ye in the distance. There are 10 ancient and modern bridges on the river, which are magnificent and skillfully combine the two parts of the city. Beltrina Mountain stands in the urban area, with lush trees and beautiful scenery, and is an elegant rest place. Ancient pagodas with spires or domes in urban areas, whether Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque or Renaissance, are well preserved, among which Gothic or Baroque is the most famous and most of them are churches. The high and low spires are adjacent to each other, forming Tallinn, so Prague is known as the "City of Hundred Pagodas". Under the sunshine, the "Hundred Pagodas" look resplendent and magnificent, so it is also called "Golden Prague".

The name Prague comes from German and is called Blaha locally, which means "threshold". The reason is that vltava river flows through a reef here, and the current is very fast, just like crossing a threshold. There is also a legend: when the city was built in ancient times, architects came here to inspect. He met an old man who was sawing wood as a threshold. He was very serious and careful. The architect was deeply moved. When the city was completed, it was named Prague.
