Zbraslav has retained its small-town character - it's just 15 minutes by bus from the centre of Prague, but feels a million miles away from the bustling Czech capital. Zbraslav is home to a renaissance chateau as well as traces of the biggest Celtic fortified settlement in Central Europe, and it's also the home town of Jaromir Vejvoda, the man who created one of the most famous pieces of Czech 20th century music - "Skoda Lasky" or "the Beer Barrel Polka". encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/zbraslav-home-beer-barrel-polka-8059782 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
