About the venue: Vyšehrad

Vyšehrad is a historic fortress on a rocky promontory above the right bank of the Vltava, roughly 3 km southeast of Prague Castle. It originated as a princely stronghold in the second half of the 10th century, and in the late 11th century King Vratislav II - the only Czech ruler to do so - made it his seat. The complex was rebuilt as a Baroque military fortress in the 17th century and has been a national cultural monument since 1962. Highlights include the neo-Gothic Basilica of St Peter and Paul, the national cemetery Slavín, the Romanesque Rotunda of St Martin, and an extensive network of underground casemates.
