■ St. Vitus Cathedral
St. Vitus Cathedral is located in the center of Prague Castle and is the most important church in the Czech Republic and a symbol of the country. St. Vitus Cathedral has a long history. In the 930s, the Romanesque St. Vitus Church was built. This church became the most famous church in Prague and became the bishop's church in 973. In 1096, a 70m long and 35ｍ wide church was built. In 1344, the Pope appointed Charles IV as Archbishop of Prague and began building a cathedral to establish the capital of the new Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Bohemia. The first architect was a French architect named Matthias of Arras. After his death, the church was continued by a German architect named Parlège Petr. About half of the current cathedral was built in the 14th century. In the 15th century, construction of the cathedral was stopped due to religious wars, but in 1770, construction resumed and a Baroque-style roof tower with a height of 100 meters was built. At the end of the 19th century, two 80ｍ-high towers were built in front of the cathedral. You can reach the cathedral towers via 287 steps (fees needed). The construction of the cathedral was completed in 1929, and it took on its current form.
■ Stained glass of the church
The beautiful stained glass of the church was installed between the 19th and 20th centuries. Standing at the main entrance of the church, you can really appreciate the size of the church. The third stained glass on the left is a work by Mucha, designed in 1932. The motif of the glass is the history of Christian propaganda in Bohemia. The key points of the propaganda mission of Konstantin and Metoděj, who came from Greece in 863, can be seen in the stained glass.
