This pano is a combined effort of Robaire, who put the images together, and Lenka, who took the photographs in the first place. Charles Bridge can be seen on the left. It was named after Charles IV, a medieval Bohemian king. Its construction was started in 1357. The hill in the background behind the bridge is Petřín Hill. The 60 m tall iron tower at the top was built in 1891 as a copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The round baroque St Nicholas church is minutes away from there. It was built by Charles Dientzenhofer during years 1704-1711. The spires half way between Petřín and the Castle belong to the Strahov Premonstratensian Monastery, which houses the Museum of National Literature with exhibitions showing the development of the Czech literature. Right in the heart of the picutre there is the Castle with St Vitus Cathedral. The Castle was founded by prince Bořivoj in the 9th century. The Gothic cathedral was founded by Charles IV in 1344. It replaced the original Romanesque Rotunda of St Vitus, founded by prince Wenceslas in about 926. On the right side of the pano there is Mánes Bridge. It was named after a Czech painter. The river is called Vltava.
