St. Vitus Cathedral rose up while its architect died off. The original architect, Matthias of Arras met his death shortly after he started the project in 1344. His successor was Peter Parler. He, too, died before the Cathedral reached completion. This is the problem when it takes 600 years or so to complete construction.

The result is worth the long wait. This magnificent cathedral is a treasure house. From the flying buttresses on the exterior to the 1907 Alfonso Mucha Art Nouveau window, there is much to admire. The 16th century tomb houses the bodies of Ferdinand II, hi wife and son Maximilian II. The jewel encrusted St. Wenceslas Chapel is home to the Saint’s tomb. You can admire the late Gothic vaulting of the 14th century and the triple doorway from 1953. There is the magnificent Rose Window by Frantisĕk Kyseln above the portals. There is also the bell tower. It contains the biggest Sigmund bell throughout Bohemia. You will need to spend at least an hour to truly appreciate this grand structure.
