On top of the hill on the castle grounds St. Vitus Cathedral. Construction started in 1344 and finished in the 19-20th century! This is one of the Cathedrals that still holds Catholic masses. The Czech Republic is not religious and I was told is probably about 80% atheist. The guide I took this tour from said the statistics are probably higher. Their religion is BEER! They have the highest beer consumption and even beat the GermansThis is the newest part of the Cathedral.
The gargoyles mouths are open and when it rains the water drops off their tongues. We were waiting in line to get in and you had to watch out!
This is the oldest section of the cathedral
I don’t know what this guy is trying to do to the angel…but it looked like a good photo!A hand painted window
The ‘star’ of the show…the mosaics were painted by Italian artists.
