Vyšehrad

On Saturday, during ESI's "Czech Reality" retreat, a group of us visited Vyšehrad, the mythical birthplace of Prague. Through the years, citadels have been built and rebuilt on its grounds, though most of the buildings and castle walls are now in ruins. If you look on a map, Vyšehrad is slightly southeast of the main city center (where Prague Castle and Old Town are).
