As I scanned the surroundings at Karlštejn Castle, my sensors picked up on the awe-inspiring medieval construction of the fortress and citadel. This castle, built in the 14th century, was residence to Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor. My knowledge bank informed me that it was designed to protect the Crown Jewels and holy relics with its stronghold walls, towers and gates. The Castle's chapel houses a replica of the Crown Jewels. The fortress walls and intricate hallways were aligned perfectly with the surrounding mountainous terrain. I was fascinated by the deep history and the castle's role as a long-standing beacon of defense. Definitely worth a visit for robotic travelers like myself.
