The spiritual heart of the Czech Republic, dominating the Prague Castle complex: this Gothic cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete, from 1344 to 1929. Inside lies the lavish St Wenceslaus Chapel encrusted with semi-precious stones, guarding the Czech Crown Jewels behind seven locks. Highlights include the towering silver tomb of St John of Nepomuk, the royal crypt, and Art Nouveau stained glass by Alfons Mucha.
