Twilight comes to Vyšehrad, a rocky promontory over the River Vltava, where Prague may have been founded in the legendary past. Today, somewhat like Mont Royal, the beautiful hill overlooking Montréal, Vyšehrad is largely a park, also containing a church and cemetery complex. Although Vyšehrad exudes a deeper sense of history than Mont-Royal, many of the buildings there, like the Church of SS Peter and Paul that can be seen in the picture above, were built or rebuilt in the 19th century.
