The busy tourist destination will be closed from March and work will focus primarily on the obsolete sewer system.<\/p>\n

Work will likely be slowed by the archaeological research that almost always accompanies excavating work in Prague’s historical areas. In this case, workers will be excavating some six meters and thereby giving archaeologists their first opportunity to carefully examine this part of Prague Castle.<\/p>\n
