Description
Prague. A city with a thousand-year tradition. A city where you can touch history in its streets. The cobblestones you walk on, the house walls you pass by, their arcades, attics, cellar vaults—all bear traces of a past of which you often have not the slightest idea. Not everything has been accurately passed down. Much is shrouded in mystery.

A number of buildings and smaller architectural monuments, such as house signs, stone figures, memorial plaques, or images on facades, have survived, bearing witness to past stories. The book '77 Prague Legends' is intended for visitors to Prague who enjoy listening to tales about old houses and their mysterious corners.
