Prague's most representative royal church
in the Prague Castle, there is a magnificent Royal Cathedral, it can be said that in all corners of Prague can see its high standing, it It is the St. Vitus Cathedral. The
St. Vitus Cathedral is typical of Gothic architecture, especially from its various spires. But in fact, a careful observation of the church will reveal that the style of the church seen from different angles is somewhat different. It is like the stitching of several churches to complete the building. That was because the construction of the St. Vitus Cathedral was finally established after the creation of different architects for centuries.
The top of the church has a Renaissance-style big clock. This clock tower is the most beautiful place overlooking the city of Prague. Be sure to board it and have a look. Even if you want to climb 287 stairs, there is no elevator to rely on the full force, it is quite worth it!
The interior of the church is also very shocking, with a very grand lobby and a high dome. Beautifully decorated pattern. There are actually many tombs of the Bohemian kings inside the church, which are located under some gods. It is the largest and most important royal church in the Czech Republic. Moreover, it is also the place where the emperors held the coronation ceremony. It has the reputation of "the treasure of architecture", so the church also houses the pure gold crown, gold ball and token of King Charles IV, and the ceiling is also painted. The symbolic badge of the royal family, at first glance, looks a bit like the emblem of some football teams.

St. Vitus Cathedral on the Prague Castle is the most beautiful and spectacular church I have ever seen! The Gothic spire rises upwards, and when you look up at it, you feel the power of its shock.
The most beautiful is the colored window in the church. Each window is different in content and color. Under the penetration of sunlight, it is crystal clear and really beautiful.

When I read St. Vitus Cathedral, I have been thinking about how to describe it here? I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery and churches before, but it was also shocked by this magnificent. St. Vitus Cathedral is one of the most important landmarks in the Prague Castle and is the place where the Prague royal family held a coronation ceremony and burial. In this church, the brightest of my eyes is the stained glass window of the 20th century. It is said that this is the work of the famous painter Muha, and with the atmosphere of the arcade, the noble status of this church is undoubted. Inside the Temple, the tomb of St. John's Tomb was built in 1930 by Baroque architect Ella Schu, who used 20 tons of silver and decorated with a magnificent tomb of many relief wood carvings. His sacred bones are said to have not rotted so far. When I heard such an introduction, this church was even more mysterious in my heart.
St. Vitus Cathedral is located in the third atrium of Prague Castle. It was built in the 14th century and has been expanded three times in history. It was officially completed in 1929 and is an important landmark of Prague Castle. Here you can see the beautiful rose window, the south facade of the "Golden Gate", the South Tower overlooking Prague, the tomb of St. John of Nepomuk and the Václav Chapel. In addition, it is also the place where the royal family of Prague Castle was crowned and died after the death.

Absolutely gorgeous! The architecture and stained glass make this place stunning!
I love history and architecture and this church amazed me. It was so intimidating, the arches and pillars, with the vaulted ceilings. It was beautiful
A lovely experience. Can partially enter for free but must pay a bit more to see the whole thing. Huge cathedral.
