A thousand years is roughly accurate here. Prague's oldest surviving architecture dates to the Romanesque period, and the Basilica of St George inside Prague Castle, founded in 920 and consecrated the following year, is the oldest church building still standing anywhere in the complex — its plain stone interior, restored after a 12th-century fire, still reads as austere and Romanesque even though its rust-colored facade was added much later, in the Baroque style.
Gothic took over from the 14th century onward, led by Charles IV's own ambitions — St Vitus Cathedral, which he started in 1344 and which wasn't finished until 1929, 585 years later, and Charles Bridge, founded in 1357, both still anchor the skyline today. Renaissance influence arrived more modestly in the 16th century through additions at the Castle, before the devastation of the Thirty Years' War reshaped everything that followed: Malá Strana, plundered by Swedish troops in 1648, was rebuilt almost entirely in the heavy, ornate Baroque style that now defines its palace-lined streets.
Prague's final, most distinctive chapters arrived around 1900. Art Nouveau swept through the city in exactly the same years the old Jewish Quarter was being demolished and rebuilt under a controversial 1890s redevelopment law, giving streets like the new Pařížská Street their flowing, decorative facades. Then, uniquely among world cities, Prague developed an architecture found almost nowhere else: Czech Cubism, best represented by Josef Gočár's 1912 House of the Black Madonna — this walk's real thousand-year span ends there, at a building style invented, and really only ever built, in this one city.
