Vyšehrad

Yesterday Richard met us on his lunch hour and took us to Vyšehrad, which was first built in the 10th century as a stronghold for Prague, then a seat for sovereigns and royalty. There is a cathedral with a cemetery for important Czech politicians, writers, artists, etc., and lots of grounds and paths with views over the Vltava River and the city.


On the way there, we walked past Richard's childhood home and school. Here he and Deborah pose outside his school.


Right outside the walls of Vyšehrad is this building, an example of Cubist architecture from early 20th century, by architect Josef Chochol.
