Introduction

The St. Vitus Cathedral located in Prague Castle is a precious example of Gothic architecture, with numerous Bohemian Kings' tombs inside. It is one of the largest and most important churches in the Czech Republic. As early as 925 AD, Duke Wenceslaus I of Bohemia built the first circular Romanesque church, which was later expanded in 1060 to become the Romanesque church seen today. Then in 1344, Charles IV ordered the construction of the Gothic cathedral on the original foundation, which was not completed until the early 20th century. Today, the replaced stained glass windows have become representative works of Alfons Mucha.
