Monument "Przemysl and Libushe"
Description:
The legend of the founding of Prague says that after the death of the Czech, who brought the Czech people to the Czech Republic, his son, the voivode Kroc, founded the city on a rock above the Vltava and named it Vysegrad from a high location. When Kroc died, the Czechs chose his youngest daughter, Libuche. Deciding to move the capital, she sent servants to look for a place on the left bank of the Vltava. The servants met woodcutters who were heaving the tree. "What are you doing?" the servants of Libuche asked. "We cut the threshold," the woodcutters replied. When the servants returned, they reported everything to the princess. “At the threshold of this new city will be called Prague, and the glory of its stars will reach!” – commanded the impressionable Libuche.
It is believed that at the place where Libushe uttered these words, a monument is erected in Vysegrad.
