The National Theatre is the embodiment of the will of the Czech nation for a national identity and independence. Collections of money among the broad mass of the people facilitated its construction and hence the ceremonial laying of its foundation stone was tantamount to a nationwide political manifestation. The idea of building a stately edifice to serve as a theatre was first mooted in the autumn of 1844 at meetings of patriots in Prague. The era of Bach’s absolutism brought to a halt preparations for the construction and gave rise to the concept of a modest provisional building. The Theatre’s foundation stones were laid at a ceremony on 16 May 1868. The National Theatre opened on 11 June 1881. During completion works, however, the building burnt down, which was considered a national disaster, and an immense resolve for new collections followed. The National Theatre building reopened on 18 November 1883 and served without any major refurbishments for almost a century.

The Prague Castle was most likely founded in around 880 by Prince Bořivoj of the Premyslid Dynasty (Přemyslovci). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m². A UNESCO World Heritage site, it consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings of various architectural styles, from Roman-style buildings from the 10th century through Gothic modifications in the 14th century. The famous Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik was responsible for extensive renovations in the time of the First Republic (1918-1938). Since the Velvet Revolution, the Prague Castle has undergone significant and ongoing repairs and reconstructions.
