Together, these quarters create the historical centre of Prague and are also considered to be national heritage monuments, listed as members of the international cultural heritage organisation UNESCO. The history of Prague has been recorded for over 1100 years and its complex development is represented by the several thousands of listed heritage buildings of all architectural styles – Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque or Rococo and likewise buildings from the Art Nouveau and Cubist period.
