Bohemian crown jewels, including St. Wenceslas Crown, on display at Prague Castle
Prague Castle has opened a ten-day exhibition of the Czech crown jewels, including the St. Wenceslas Crown, with organizers hoping for record visitor numbers.
Prague Castle has opened its doors to an exhibition allowing visitors to view the Bohemian crown jewels up close — historic royal regalia that have symbolized Czech statehood for centuries.
St. Wenceslas Crown at the center
On display are the St. Wenceslas Crown, the royal scepter, and the coronation mantle — items historically used in the coronation ceremonies of Czech monarchs and long regarded as symbols of national identity.
A brief window to visit
The jewels will be on view for only ten days, giving those interested a relatively narrow window to see them in person. Organizers have expressed hope that this year's exhibition will draw a record number of visitors, reflecting growing public interest in the country's historical heritage.
The exhibition is taking place at Prague Castle, the historic complex in the Czech capital long associated with the country's monarchy and statehood.
