ST VITUS CATHEDRAL

The Seat of the Archbishop of Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral is one of the most important places to see in Czech Republic. Apart from religious ceremonies, the Cathedral was also the site of coronation of most Czech kings and queens. Initially, the Church was a mere Romanesque rotunda built in the year 930. It was then developed to its present form across several centuries worth of work.

The architecture of the Cathedral displays traditional Gothic designs. Perhaps the most striking part of the castle, however, is the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus, which houses relics of the eponymous saint. A small chamber in the Chapel leads one to the Crown Chamber, where the Crowns of the Republic are kept in public display.

Timings: Monday to Saturday: 09.00AM- 05.00PM

Sunday: 12.00PM- 05.00PM
