The Prague Castle with the Castle Palace, churches, monasteries and palaces impressively reflects more than a thousand years of history of the Czech state. In the 14th century Emperor Charles IV made Prague Castle the center of the Holy Roman Empire and St Vitus Cathedral the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Prague. The President of the Czech Republic has resided here since 1918 and the President of the Czech Republic since 1993.

St. Vitus Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Vitus Cathedral (also known as St. Vitus' Cathedral, Czech: Katedrála sv. Víta or Chrám sv. Víta,[1] full name Katedrála svatého Víta, Václava a Vojtěcha) at Prague Castle is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Prague and the largest church building in the Czech Republic. It was built from 1344 onwards under Crown Prince Charles, later Charles IV, first by the French architect Matthias of Arras and then primarily by the German architect Peter Parler, modeled after the French royal cathedrals. The Bohemian kings processed in a solemn procession along the Royal Route from Prague's Old Town into the cathedral, which served as their coronation church. Besides the tombs of the Bohemian rulers, the cathedral also contains the coronation regalia, which are kept in the Crown Chamber. The cathedral is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Prague.

St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral on the hill, whose spire rises high above Prague, is St. Vitus Cathedral (Chrám sv. Víta) on the grounds of Prague Castle.
Important tip: You should climb the cathedral's 99-meter-high main tower,
because you'd be hard-pressed to find a better view of Prague.
Construction of a church on this site began in the 10th century. When Prague became an archbishopric in the 14th century, following a decree from Charles IV, a large, prestigious cathedral was needed. Thus, construction of St. Vitus Cathedral began in 1344. The Gothic building was initially overseen by the French cathedral architect Matthias of Arras, later followed by the famous Peter Parler, his son Wenceslas, and many other master builders.
The choir and foundations of the main tower were not finished until 1420. Construction was not finally completed until 1929, when the largest church in the Czech Republic was completed.
In addition to the tower with its magnificent view, there are several other features that make St. Vitus Cathedral so unique: The largest of the cathedral's seven bells is the Sigismund Bell. It weighs 17 tons and is the largest bell in the Czech Republic. The interior of St. Vitus Cathedral is lavishly decorated.

Archbishop's Palace (Arcibiskupský Palác), Prague Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

"The Archbishop's Palace in the immediate vicinity of Prague Castle has been the seat of Prague's bishops and archbishops since the 1560s. The palace was built on the site of 8 townhouses and was rebuilt several times in later times. It acquired its current form in the second half of the 18th century, when it underwent a significant late Baroque reconstruction, it received side wings, a 3rd floor and Rococo decoration of the facade. The heart of the palace is the Chapel of St. John the Baptist (Kaple sv. Jana Křtitele) from the 16th century with wall paintings and stucco. In the representation halls there is a unique collection of Parisian tapestries."
