Prague Castle is the largest medieval castle complex in Europe and the ancient seat of Czech kings throughout the ages. During World War II, Prague Castle became the headquarters of Reinhard Heydrich, the "Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia".

Less than a year after assuming power, Heydrich was assassinated. Today, Prague Castle is the seat of the President of the Czech Republic and serves as the historical and political centre for both the city and the state.
