Photos from the Czech Republic

Slavic peoples from the Black Sea and Carpathian regions settled in the area and the Bohemian or Czech state emerged in the late 9th century. The country consists of three historic lands - Bohemia (in Czech, Čechy from which it derives its name), Moravia (Morava) and Czech Silesia (Slezsko). The capital, Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
