A new app offers history buffs the opportunity to uncover the fascinating secrets of Prague Castle. This app guides users through the castle’s underground and presents the history of five key archaeological areas that are normally inaccessible to the public.
Archaeologists have been exploring Prague Castle for over 150 years, resulting in numerous publications and new insights into the site’s history. This research has led to the discovery of monuments and remnants of earlier buildings, documenting the castle’s complex development. While some archaeological areas are accessible today, many remain hidden from the general public.
With the new app, visitors can embark on a virtual tour of the castle’s five most important archaeological sites: St. Mary’s Chapel, the third courtyard with its large and small excavations, the crypt of St. Vitus Cathedral, and the monastery and basilica of St. George. Users can explore these sites interactively and use a timeline to see how they have evolved over the centuries. The app provides detailed information about the construction phases of the various buildings and reveals the remains of residential structures and fortifications.
The app is based on cutting-edge 3D scans of the current archaeological sites, supplemented by informative points about the buildings and their historical exploration. Developed over four years, the app is grounded in a digital map of the archaeological sites, originally created to support archaeological conservation and primarily available to professionals.
This app allows users to look beneath the surface of Prague Castle. It offers 3D scans of archaeological sites, reconstructions of long-disappeared buildings, and insights into their development over time. Discover many hidden details that usually remain concealed from the public and experience the history of Prague Castle in a completely new way.
