Vysehrad Hill lying south of the old centre of Prague on the Vltava River is probably a location wherefrom Prague began.
“Vysehrad” means “Upper Castle” in Czech. In the early period of the Czech history there was a rulers’ residence here.
The Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul dominates the fortress’ complex.
On Vysehrad Cemetery many prominent Czechs found eternal peace.
The tomb of the famous Czech composer, Antonine Dvorak, is here.
