The Castle District (Hradcany) refers of course, to the area around the Prague Castle. The Little Quarter (Mala Strana) is the area between the castle and the Vltava River. The Prague Castle was built at a high point, back from the Vltava River, in the 9th Century. The town developed around the castle and eventually spread over to the Little Quarter. The Castle District is the main attraction in Prague, and the castle itself contains numerous attractions within its walls. The Little Quarter is known for its extraordinary old mansions and gardens.
