Rudolf II's Prague, 1600
This is Prague at the height of Rudolf II's court: a capital turned centre of collectors, alchemists and astronomers, where the castle's new northern wing houses a vast Kunstkammer. The walk moves from a river approach through the Old Town and Jewish quarter, across the Stone Bridge to Malá Strana, and up the royal route to the castle terraces and Golden Lane.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Prague as it stood in 1600 (“Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor”).
