The perfect culture guide for the curious traveler or medieval history enthusiast.
Prague, established with the Czech state at the end of the ninth century, reached its medieval heyday during the reign of Emperor and King Charles IV. A Přemyslid on his mother’s side and an ambitious Luxembourg on his father’s, Charles IV heralded a period of rapid development in the city of Prague. In Medieval Prague, Royt employs his detailed knowledge of Czech medieval culture to succinctly depict the historical development and stylistic transformations of architecture and visual arts from the Romanesque period to the highly influential Gothic style, when the political significance of the city extended far beyond the city’s walls.
With beautiful photographs and the history of featuring some of Prague’s most iconic sights, such as the St. Vitus Cathedral and the Prague Castle, Medieval Prague illuminates how Prague has developed from its medieval roots.
