A History of Pride


Prague, in the Czech Republic is an extraordinarily beautiful city.


Thousands of years ago people began to settle this area of the Vitara River. Now the cultural, political and economic centre of the Czech Republic, it is home to 1.3 million people.


Rich with a history the echos of which is etched into its walls and buildings, Praha, as it is known here, is proud of its heritage. The detail and workmanship in each fresco and statue reflects this pride.


In our fast paced world time is measured by the second and work by its product. As Prague was growing many of its buildings, that are in themselves works of art, may have taken longer to build than most of its builders lived. In our day and age it is hard to imagine anyone committing to such a project and devoting a life to a singular creation, but just think what could be created if one did.
