St. Vitus' Cathedral

The exterior of St. Vitus' Cathedral.

The entrance into the area of the cathedral, which was built above the tomb of the martyred St. Wenceslas. The walls are encrusted with jasper, amethysts, and agates.

But first, a photo shoot in front of one of the doors.

And we're in!

The most extravagant organ I've ever seen.

It's the biggest Gothic church in the country.

Original stained glass by Alphonse Mucha. Yes, THE Alphonse Mucha!!!

Somebody doesn't take sinning seriously...


There are over 21 busts in this triforium, and they all have an unbelievable amount of detail.
