St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Prague Overview

St. Vitus Cathedral is the most important and largest cathedral in Prague. It lies on a hill overlooking the city in the Prague Castle complex. Due to its towering spires and majestic architecture, it is easily visible from many parts of Prague. It features stunning stained glass windows, flying buttresses, intricate reliefs, and a massive rose window. The South Tower climb is unsuitable for those with mobility issues, but the main nave and chapels are wheelchair accessible.

The cathedral was founded in 930 by Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, as a rotunda and was later turned into a basilica in 1060 after the foundation of the Prague bishopric. The current-day Gothic church was built in 1344 and consecrated in 1929. The most significant attraction of St. Vitus Cathedral is the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus, followed by the South Tower. The chapel houses the remains of the saint and boasts grand interiors depicting scenes from his life. Within the chapel is the sacred Crown Chamber, where the Czech Crown Jewels are kept and usually displayed to the public once every five years.
