Among Prague's oldest neighbourhoods is Malá Strana, sometimes called Lesser Town. Located at the base of Hradčany in the Castle District, it was established in 1257 and is divided from Staré Město by the Charles Bridge. The impressive preservation of Malá Strana's buildings and monuments will amaze visitors.
The central Prague area has seen its fair share of conflicts and rebellions over the years, but its palaces, squares, and churches appear remarkably unchanged from their original state.
