The designation "Golden Prague" comes from the time of Czech King and German Emperor Charles IV, when the spires of the Prague Castle were gilded with gold. Another theory says that this attribute was given to Prague during the reign of Rudolph II, who generously sponsored alchemists looking for gold. Probably the most famous name - "Prague, the city of one hundred spires", was used for the first time by Josef Hormayer at the beginning of 19th century. As this name indicates, it was inspired by the numerous Prague spires - at present, more than 500 of them rise above the city.
