"The Carriage"



It's a wheeled vehicle and pulled by horses. The invention was around XVI century. The carriage is specially designed for private passenger. Archaeologists have found evidence of wheeled vehicles dating to the end of the 4th millennium BCE.



On the 16th century, closed carriages returned like a method of travel. The trend began in Hungary. It is said that it was King Matthias who first commissioned a cart with the body separated from the axles, hung with leather straps.The carriage was made more confortable with the addition of leather seats. From this time on, carriages of all sorts began to be perfected, and the vehicles came into use throughout all of Europe. Soon, became famous around the world.



In the present it's used for important business or used as a touristic tool.
