Saint Vita Cathedral (Katedrala sv. Vita) is the most important landmark of Prague Castle. Apart from its rich architectural features, it is also the place where the royal family of Prague Castle is crowned and sleeps after its death. St. Vita Cathedral has undergone three extensions. The St. Winceras Round Cathedral in 929 AD was expanded into a rectangular Cathedral in 1060 AD. Charles IV in 1344 AD ordered the construction of the current Gothic architecture, but it was not completed until 1929 AD. Several visits to St. Vita Cathedral focused on stained glass windows in the 20th century, St. John's Tomb and St. Winceras Chapel. Walking into the entrance of the church, the colored glass on the left is the work of the famous Prague painter Moha, which adds a lot of modernity to this millennium-old church. Around the rear of the altar, the tomb of St. John is made of sterling silver and ornately decorated. He was an anti-religious reformer in 1736, so he was buried in the Cathedral of St. Vita and commemorated with the magnificent decoration of sterling silver. Continuing forward is the St. Winceras Chapel. Compared with the Sterling Silver Tomb of St. John in front, St. Winceras Chapel shows a brilliant golden glory. From murals to the minaret, it has golden decorations, which are of great artistic value. From the exterior, the Gothic Cathedral of St. Vita has many classical architectural features, such as arch pillars and flying buttresses on the gate, which are quite ornate. The old palace (Stary Kralovsky Palac) was the residence of the former King of Bohemia, and successive incumbents renovated different parts. The whole palace building is roughly divided into three floors. The entrance is the elevated Villa Dislav Hall, which is also the center of the palace. There are many images of early secretaries in the new territory Hall of the upper level. The lower level is the Gothic Charles IV Palace and the imitation Roman Palace hall. Most of the rooms were destroyed in the fire of 1541 A.D., so part of them are the relics of later reconstruction. Trace. St. George's Church is the red church with two towers behind St. George's Cathedral (Bazilika sv. Jiri). St. George's Cathedral is the best preserved Roman-style building in Czech Republic. It has been built many times since its completion in 920. The most recent one is at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The cornerstone and two minarets of the church have been preserved since the 10th century. Saint George's Monastery is the first monastery in Bohemia. It was demolished in the 18th century and rebuilt as a military camp. Today it is the National Gallery. It collects Czech art works from the 14th to 17th centuries, including Gothic art, Renaissance and Baroque paintings of different periods. The Prasna Vez-Mihulka here, like the Prasna Vez-Mihulka in the Old City Square, was originally used as a fortress for guarding the city, but later for storing gunpowder.

    The church is very large in scale, and it looks majestic in the distance. It stands in the middle of the old town square. In the evening, I went in and strolled around. There were not many tourists, but I looked for this gate for a long time behind a restaurant.

    Before entering, we were attracted by the golden windows, clocks and minarets in front of the church. The elegant and sterling silver tomb of St. John Nepomuk is said to have used 20 tons of silver, and the tomb, which is all sculpted, is more like a craft, and it is said that his sacred bones have not yet decayed. The large stained glass windows on the west gate windows are also from the master's hand, which is an art best. The gold-lit Gothic Golden Pagoda sacramental altar, the furnishings above, are all historical art boutiques. Carefully observe, there are many exquisite carvings in the church, whether it is stone carvings, wood carvings, or even gold and silver carvings, which are simply full of the whole church, and even the gold ornaments on the outdoor statues are still shining gold.

    Saint Vitte Cathedral, one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in Europe, has a history of thousands of years. It is the largest cathedral in Czech Republic. The Gothic buildings which soar into the sky merge into the gorgeous elements of Baroque. At the first glance, it shocks from its magnificent appearance. The sunlight inside the cathedral shines through the painted glass and shines on the exquisite saints and sculptures. Rich in art, religion, architecture, history and other profound details, even from a tourist point of view, is also a pleasure to pose, of course, Prague must visit one of the attractions.

    St. Vitte Cathedral, located in Prague Castle, is the place where emperors of all dynasties held coronation ceremonies. It has the reputation of "architectural treasure" and is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture. Among them, there are many tombs of Bohemian kings. It is the largest and most important church in Czech. The first church situated at St. Witt's Church today is an early Roman circular building built in 925 by the Duke of Bohemia, Watslav I. It was expanded into a Roman Church in 1600. In 1344, Charles IV ordered the construction of a Gothic church on the basis of the original church, which was completed in the early 20th century. The church is huge and has many treasures worth visiting.

    Located inside Prague Castle, a wonderful example of Gothic architecture, with many of the tombs of Bohemian kings, the largest and most important church in the Czech Republic. The first church, located in the present-day St. Vit's Church, is an early Romanesque circular building built in 925 by Václav I, Duke of Bohemia. In 1060 it was expanded to be a Romanesque church, and in 1344 Charles IV ordered the construction of a Gothic church on the basis of the original church, which was completed in the early 20th century. The stained glass windows replaced by Alphonse Muscia's work in the 20th century.

    Although I have visited many beautiful and famous cathedrals, I still wow with amazement when I cross the presidential palace to St. Witt's Cathedral. It's so beautiful! If you buy a ticket, you can turn around several places together. You must walk around the church to see the details and the stories it conveys. It's worth seeing! ___________
