[:ja]トーマス・ペスケット宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した中欧チェコ共和国のプラハです。人口は約120万人で同国及び中央ヨーロッパ有数の世界都市です。衛星画像からもわかりますが、市内中心部をヴルタヴァ川（ドイツ語名：モルダウ）が流れています。
プラハは、1000年以上の歴史を持つ都市で、第一次・第二次世界大戦の被害にも、また、その後の資本主義の高度経済成長にも巻き込まれなかったことで、ロマネスク建築から近代建築まで各時代の建築様式が並ぶ「ヨーロッパの建築博物館の街」になり、ユネスコの世界遺産にも登録されています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.215: Prague of Czech🇨🇿
Astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured from ISS Czech Republic’s capital, Prague (Praha). Prague is home to 1.2 million people and is the largest city in the country. As can be seen from the satellite image, Vltava River (Moldau in German) flows through the city.
Prague suffered considerably less damage during World War I and II than other major cities, allowing most of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the world’s most pristine and varied collections of architecture from Romanesque to modern, and Historic Centre of Prague is registered as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The local scenery on the ground of Prague is as follows.
