Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce - Event Information

Event Name:
Golden Prague - From the Middle Ages to Today

Event Type(s):
Community Event

Description:
Dr. Peskova will discuss some of the key historical moments that have made Prague such a fascinating city, both culturally and historically. She will also share some fun facts about Prague. For example, did you know that the night lighting of the Prague castle’s exterior was designed and paid for by the Rolling Stones? Did you know that Prague has a pedestrian street so narrow that pedestrian traffic has to be navigated by a stop light on each side?
Prague is a historical jewel that offers a rich architectural heritage with many centuries of historic buildings, bridges, and parks. Not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it is also the cultural and economic heart of the Czech Republic and, because of its geographic location, of Europe as well.  Prague is famous for the Prague Castle, the largest castle in the world, and the Old Town square with its third-oldest astronomical clock. Prague is also famous for its rich cultural life: Czech composers such as Bedrich Smetana or Antonin Dvorak are known all over the world. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived in Prague (where he wrote his Prague Symphony), and the well-known Czech/Jewish writer Franz Kafka was born and raised in Prague. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has developed into a lively magnet for lovers of bohemian life from all over the world.
