The origin of Prague goes back to the 7th century and the Slavic princess Libuee, a woman of great beauty and wisdom who possessed prophetic powers. Libuse and her husband, prince Premysl, ruled peacefully over the Czech lands from the hill of Vysehrad. A legend says that one day Libuse had a vision. She stood on a cliff overlooking the Vltava, pointed to a forested hill across the river, and proclaimed: “I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars.”
