St Vitus Cathedral

St. Vitus Cathedral crowns Prague Castle with soaring Gothic spires and centuries of Czech history. Begun in 1344 and completed in the 20th century, it houses the tombs of Bohemian kings, the dazzling St. Wenceslas Chapel, and Alfons Mucha’s stained glass. Visitors come for its grand nave, panoramic views from the Great South Tower, and the ceremonial heart of the nation—the Crown Jewels are stored here (on rare display). Central location, rich art and architecture, and deep historical resonance make it a rewarding stop for travelers interested in culture, faith, and the story of Prague.
