Bílá Hora, Historic hill in Ruzyně district, Czech Republic
Rising to 379 meters, Bílá Hora forms a strategic elevation on the western outskirts of Prague with the Star Summer Palace at its summit.
The Catholic forces defeated Protestant Bohemian troops at this location during the Battle of White Mountain on November 8, 1620, marking a pivotal moment in European history.
The Star Summer Palace, built in 1555 in a hexagonal shape, contains Renaissance stucco decorations depicting hunting scenes and classical mythology.
Visitors can reach Bílá Hora by taking tram number 22 from Prague city center to the final stop, with several marked walking paths leading to the summit.
The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, constructed in the early 18th century, features intricate frescos by artists K. D. Asam and V. V. Reiner.
