Vyšehrad was the second seat of the Bohemian princes and kings of the Premyslides dynasty. The castle was founded in the 10th century. The reign of Vratislav II (1061-1092) chose Vyšehrad as his royal residence. He founded a new minster, the Basilica of St Lawrence, St Martin rotunda and The Vyšehrad Chapter. The Chapter was excluded from the authority of the Bishop of Prague, and was subject directly to the Pope. It benefited from the great attention paid to it by many Bohemian sovereigns, and obtained a range of political and economic privileges.

Vratislav´s successor, Soběslav I (1125-1140), also took an interest in the artistic decoration of the churches, and in the social prestige of Vyšehrad. The coronation of Vladislav in the year 1140 brought the precedence of this seat over Prague Castle to an end. Vyšehrad regained back its importance under Charles IV., who converted Vyšehrad into a stone fortress, joining it to the ramparts of the New Town of Prague, built a Gothic Royal Palace, the Capitulary church, and the great new Špička (Peak) Gate. During the Hussite Wars, however, the whole royal area was destroyed. From the middle of the 17th century Vyšehrad became a Baroque fortress with its own military garrison, and remained under military jurisdiction until the year1911, when it was made over to the city. It has been preserved almost unchanged to the present day.
