Vyšehrad: from a medieval fortification to an Early Baroque citadel
Nechvátal, Bořivoj
The area of the fortified complex used by the Bohemian princes and kings has changed substantially since the Early Middle Ages. Today it is composed of the Baroque Bastion of St Ludmila on the south side with the "Old Burgrave's House", and the bastion of St Wenceslaus on the west side. The massive Early Baroque armoury that originally stood on the north side of Vyšehrad burned down in 1927. It was built in 1654-1678, when Vyšehrad has been rebuilt to the Baroque citadel and the terrain relief has changed significantly.
