St Vitus Cathedral (Prague, Czech Republic)

St Vitus Cathedral is in the precincts of Prague castle. Its spires and buttresses rise above the surrounding buildings and dominate the hill on which the castle stands. It was built by Charles IV, King of Bohemia and later Holy Roman Emperor, to house the relics of St Vitus. Later, it became a coronation and a royal burial site, and the crown jewels are still kept here. Begun in 1344 in a transitional Gothic style it has had numerous additions and adaptations over the centuries and was only finally finished in the 20th century. It is large, 124m in length, and the largest church in the country. One of the highlights of the interior is the chapel of St Wenceslas containing his relics. It is liberally decorated with semi-precious stones but is only viewable from the entrance. Of particular note on the exterior are the intricately carved façade and the Golden Portal with its large mosaic on the south side which was the coronation entrance. The Bell Tower with its 287 steps can be climbed in good weather Entry to the Cathedral is free. Opening hours are 9am to 5pm, March to October, and to 4pm the rest of the year. On Sundays opening time is 12 noon.
