The transverse fortification of the Prague Castle from the 9th-11th century
Original language description
Prague Castle has been a seat of dukes of Bohemia since 9th century. It is situated on the promontory above the river Vltava. The rampart cutting across the neck of the castle promontory was first discovered by Ivan Borkovský in 1929 and again in 1948. Various parts of the transverse fortification were explored in 1982-1983, 2001-2002 and 2010. The research proved that the fortification of the Prague castle at the neck, enabling the easiest access to the promontory, remained in the same location since the beginning. In the first period this was a symbolic division from merely fencing. The second period was the moat only in the promontory probably with palisade. The third period was the new deeper moat with clay-wood wall, the fourth one the same moat with a rampart from wooden construction and frontal stone wall. Frontal stone wall was enlarged in the tenth century, and in its ground we found a stone with gravure of the geometric ornament. This fortification was replaced by a Romanesque rampart from 1135.
