St. Vitus Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. This architectural monument traces its history back to 1344. Located on the territory of Prague Castle, today it serves as the residence for the Archbishop of Prague. It is difficult to describe in words the grandeur and beauty of this building. In the main part of the cathedral, above the altar, you can see a gallery of sculptures of the founders of the church and its first builders — for example, a bust of Charles IV, masters Peter Parlerge and Mathieu from Arras, who were buried in the walls of the building, Prague archbishops and other important persons of the state and architects. Stone carvings adorn the majestic facades of the cathedral, and above the portal of its southern facade you can see the earliest surviving Czech mosaics called the Last Judgment.

Incredibly beautiful! You can stand for a long time and look at the details from all sides of the building and it will always be very beautiful. We got inside, stood in a huge queue and it was worth it. If you want to visit inside, you should come early in the morning. Outside, you can also fully enjoy the view and have fun. There is a post office opposite the main entrance, from where you can send a letter or postcard.
