The History of Prague

Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic

A medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall in Prague

The clock was first installed in 1410

The Prague metropolitan area covers 192 square miles (496 square kilometres).

The City of a Hundred Spires

The fourteenth-largest city in the European Union.

Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Wooden doors with brass studs, a style that originated as a defence against charging elephants.

Architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century

The heart of Stone Town mostly consists of a maze of narrow alleys

Dozens of slaves, and women and children, were imprisoned for days in crowded cellars with little air and no food or toilets.

The Arabic slave driver would take over a hundred women and children and pack them like sardines into a tiny room. Most of them would die because of suffocation, it is thought than only 6% of slaves survived from capture to market.

Sunken in the ground, is an artwork: lifesize statues of slaves that could have been made by Antony Gormley, bearing original chains.

Slaves were led outside and lined up in order of size. They were tied to a tree and whipped with a stinging branch to test their mettle. Those who did not cry or faint fetched a higher price at market.
