One of the most amazing places in Prague, wonderful original area in the city center - Kampa Island.

In total there are 8 in Prague islands. Kampa - the most beautiful of them. On it you can get there by going to Velkopřevorský náměstí through the bridge linking the two banks of the river Certovka. Second, an easier way to the island: the steps leading directly from the Charles Bridge. You probably will see a ladder on which tourists descend, follow them and you.

River Devil - it is actually a stream, which is a breakthrough in the XII century to the rotation of the mill wheel. It has survived two mills, one of which was built the Knights of Malta. Brook takes its name from the house of a villain who called the building the Seven Devils and was located right on its shore. The modern creators like to portray in art paintings, which are sold all over Prague, neat, beautiful houses on the river devil. Thanks to this idyllic image, this area is called the Venice of Prague, although, of course, there is no gondolas.

Kampa Island got its name from the Spanish word Campa, which stands for a military camp. It is said that in 1770 there really was encamped Spanish squad.

Prague's Kampa Island loved the intellectuals. Settled here was considered a sign of good taste. Here were many well-known representatives of Czech culture: architects, animators, artists, scientists ... Many of them Kampe erect a monument, so walk on the many beautiful lawns is not only pleasant, but also informative.
