Prague Unesco Heritage City, Czech Republic - Unravel Travel TV
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe in terms of its setting on both banks of the Vltava River, its townscape of burger houses and palaces punctuated by towers, and its individual buildings. The Historic Centre represents a supreme manifestation of Medieval urbanism (the New Town of Emperor Charles IV built as the New Jerusalem). The Prague architectural works of the Gothic Period (14th and 15th centuries), of the High Baroque of the 1st half of the 18th century and of the rising modernism after the year 1900, influenced the development of Central Europe, perhaps even all European architecture. Prague represents one of the most prominent world centres of creative life in the field of urbanism and architecture across generations, human mentality and beliefs.
Prague belongs to the group of historic cities which have preserved the structure of their development until the present times. Within the core of Prague, successive stages of growth and changes have respected the original grand-scale urban structure of the Early Middle Ages. This structure was essentially and greatly enlarged with urban activities in the High Gothic period with more additions during the High Baroque period and in the 19th century. It has been saved from any large-scale urban renewal or massive demolitions and thus preserves its overall configuration, pattern and spatial composition.
In the course of the 1100 years of its existence, Prague's development can be documented in the architectural expression of many historical periods and their styles. The city is rich in outstanding monuments from all periods of its history. Of particular importance are Prague Castle, the Cathedral of St Vitus, Hradćany Square in front of the Castle, the Valdgtejn Palace on the left bank of the river, the Gothic Charles Bridge, the Romanesque Rotunda of the Holy Rood, the Gothic arcaded houses round the Old Town Square, the High Gothic Minorite Church of St James in the Stark Mĕsto, the late 19th century buildings and town plan of the Nave Mĕsto.
As early as the Middle Ages, Prague became one of the leading cultural centres of Christian Europe. The Prague University, founded in 1348, is one of the earliest in Europe. The milieu of the University in the last quarter of the 14th century and the first years of the 15th century contributed among other things to the formation of ideas of the Hussite Movement which represented in fact the first steps of the European Reformation. As a metropolis of culture, Prague is connected with prominent names in art, science and politics, such as Charles IV, Petr Parléř, Jan Hus, Johannes Kepler, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Kafka, Antonín Dvořák, Albert Einstein, Edvard Beneš (co-founder of the League of Nations) and Václav Havel.
The historic centre of Prague admirably illustrates the process of continuous urban growth from the Middle Ages to the present day. Its important role in the political, economic, social, and cultural evolution of central Europe from the 14th century onwards and the richness of its architectural and artistic traditions meant that it served as a major model for urban development for much of central and eastern Europe.
Prague is an urban architectural ensemble of outstanding quality, in terms of both its individual monuments and its townscape, and one that is deservedly world-famous.
The role of Prague in the medieval development of Christianity in central Europe was an outstanding one, as was its formative influence in the evolution of towns. By virtue of its political significance in the later Middle Ages and after, it attracted architects and artists from all over Europe, who contributed to its wealth of architectural and artistic treasures. The 14th century foundation of Charles University made Prague a renowned seat of learning, a reputation that it has preserved up to the present day. Since the reign of Charles IV, Prague has also been the intellectual and cultural centre of central Europe, and is indelibly associated with such world-famous names as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Kafka.

Jihlava: Where Gustav Mahler Went to School
Jihlava is the capital of the Highlands' region (Kraj Vysočina) in the southwest of Moravia and formed a German language island in a Czech-speaking environment for a long time during the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal monarchy. Gustav Mahler was born in 1860 in Kalischt, shortly before his parents moved to Jihlava. It is the city of the childhood and youth of this probably greatest late-Romantic composer who during his lifetime enjoyed especially high esteem as a conductor. Today, the Gustav Mahler Museum is situated in the house that was formerly the tavern of his father. Mahler went to school here, but after the death of his parents in 1889 he never returned to Jihlava. By the way, some of the documents at the museum testify that he was a rather bad student. His passion was music!
In addition to the Mahler Museum there are a lot of beautiful old houses around the market square, some of them dated from the 16th century, in this oldest Moravian mining town. There are also magnificent building from the Founder Epoch (architectural historicism) spread over the whole town. Another highlight is the church of St. James (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consecrated in 1257. From the tower one has a wonderful view of the town and the gently undulating landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian mountain range.
Iglau, wo Gustav Mahler zur Schule gegangen ist
Jihlava, auf Deutsch Iglau, ist die Hauptstadt der Hochland-Region (Kraj Vysočina) im Südwesten Mährens und bildete während der k.u.k.-Monarchie lange Zeit eine deutsche Sprachinsel in einem tschechischsprachigen Umfeld. Gustav Mahler wurde 1860 in Kalischt geboren, kurz bevor seine Eltern nach Jihlava zogen. Es ist also die Stadt der Kindheit und Jugend dieses vermutlich größten Komponisten der Spätromantik, der zu seinen Lebzeiten vor allem als Dirigent höchstes Ansehen genoss. Heute erinnert das Gustav-Mahler-Museum im Haus, in dem sich vormals die Schankwirtschaft seines Vaters befand, an den Musiker, der hier zur Schule ging, aber nach dem Tod der Eltern 1889 nie mehr in die Stadt zurückkehrte. Er soll übrigens ein schlechter Schüler gewesen sein, was einige im Museum gezeigte Dokumente beweisen. Sein ganzes Streben galt der Musik!
Neben dem Mahler-Museum gibt es in dieser ältesten mährischen Bergbau-Stadt sehr schöne alte Häuser rund um den Marktplatz zu sehen, die teilweise noch aus dem 16. Jahrhundert datieren. Über das Stadtgebiet verteilt finden sich auch prächtige Gebäude aus der Gründerzeit. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die Jakobuskirche (kostel svatého Jakuba Staršího), geweiht im Jahr 1257, deren Turm man besteigen kann. Von dort hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Stadt und die leicht gewellte Landschaft des böhmisch-mährischen Höhenzugs.
Jihlava donde Gustav Mahler iba a la escuela
Jihlava es la capital de la región de Tierras Altas (Kraj Vysočina) en el suroeste de Moravia y formó una isla de lengua alemana en un ambiente de habla checa durante mucho tiempo en la monarquía Imperial y Royal Austro-Húngara. Gustav Mahler nació en 1860 en Kalischt, poco antes de que sus padres se trasladaron a Jihlava. Es la ciudad de la infancia y la juventud de este probablemente mayor compositor romántico tardío que en vida disfrutó especialmente alta estima como director de orquesta. Hoy en día, el Museo Gustav Mahler está situado en la casa que antes era la taberna de su padre. Mahler iba a la escuela aquí, pero después de la muerte de sus padres en 1889, nunca volvió a Jihlava. Por cierto, algunos de los documentos en el museo dan testimonio de que era un estudiante bastante malo. ¡Su pasión era la música!
Además del Museo de Mahler hay en esta ciudad minera más antigua de Moravia una gran cantidad de casas antiguas hermosísimas alrededor de la plaza del mercado, algunas de ellas datan del siglo XVI. Hay también edificios magníficos de la época de los fundadores (historicismo arquitectónico), repartidas por toda la ciudad. Otro lugar de interés que destaca es la iglesia de Santiago (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consagrada en 1257. Desde la torre se tiene una vista maravillosa de la ciudad y el paisaje suavemente ondulado de la cordillera de Bohemia-Moravia.
