Written byRenata Jirasova17 Mar. 2016PRAGUE, the capital of the Czech Republic, can boast by several complimentary nicknames such as: „Praga mater urbium“ (Prague – Mother of Cities), the “Golden city“ or the "City of Hundred Spires“ - based on a calculation of the Czech mathematician, philosopher and Catholic priest Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848). Bolzano counted that Prague has 103 towers at the beginning of the 19th century. Currently, the estimated total number of towers is 500.
