Prague

It has a lot of both Gothic and Baroque architecture stone works and buildings. It was the capital of Holy Roman Empire under Charles IV in XIV century. Many buildings also reflects the art-nouveau style like the statue of Jan Hus.
Most architectural monuments are located close to the castle and old town, the busiest street is in downtown i.e Na Prikopa, and the widest boulevard is Namesti Vaclavske which leads away from the old city.
