CZECH REPUBLIC


A nice UNESCO cover from Czech Republic, depicting a stamp issued in 2006 celebrating with a view of the Historic Centre of Prague with his Old Castle. Prague, situated on the banks of the Vltava river, has been an important European city since the Middle Ages. Prague is home to a number of well-known cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, St. Vitus Cathedral and Vyšehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
