Compliment Timinator (30-04-2008)

Located inside Prague Castle, St Vitus Cathedral is a towering Gothic structure near the front castle gate. Although construction started in 1344, the last bits of window detail weren’t completed until 1929!

The entire cathedral is awe-inspiring, but particularly impressive are the side chapels, one of ornate stonework for St Wenceslas. The shining silver tomb of St John of Nepomunk is no less amazing. You can descend into the (cramped) crypt, and ascend the nearly 300 steps of the tower.

St Vitus’s stained glass windows are incredible.
