Saint Vitus Cathedral
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saint Vitus Cathedral is located in Prague in the Czech Republic. Built over a span of 600 years, the Roman Catholic cathedral serves as the seat for the Archbishop of Prague. Coronations of Czech kings and queens took place here. The cathedral displays Gothic architecture and is the largest and most important church in the country. Located within Prague Castle complex, the cathedral contains many ornate tombs of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors. The cathedral was built upon the site of a rotunda from the early 10th century. In 1344, Charles IV began construction on the present-day Gothic Cathedral, which included a ring of chapels, St. Wenceslas Chapel, and the Golden Gate. In 1419, the cathedral underwent further renovations, but the work was stopped due to the Hussite Wars, leaving it incomplete. The Great South Tower was constructed in the 15th century, but it wasn’t finished until the 16th century. The cathedral boasts stained glass windows, crypts, wall paintings, and a Crown Chamber, which is where the Bohemian Coronation Jewels are kept. St. Wenceslas Chapel is decorated with priceless murals and over one-thousand precious gems. The exterior has a riding school, an orangery, horticultural gardens, a vineyard, a greenhouse, and a variety of gardens with ornamental flowerbeds and decorative shrubs. The cathedral is the third church built on this site, which were all dedicated to St. Vitus. Saint Vitus Cathedral is owned by the Czech government.

South door and eastern façade of the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague
Although the current church was completed in 1344, the earliest traces of the original Romanesque church are dated from the tenth century.
