St Vitus Cathedral
Monumental ConstructionDescription
St Vitus Cathedral is a monumental construction in Czechia, Europe.
Saint Vitus Cathedral stands within Prague Castle and contains royal tombs and important ceremonial spaces. Begun as a Gothic building and completed much later, it combines medieval craftsmanship with the nineteenth- and twentieth-century effort to finish the monument. The Gothic cathedral was begun in 1344 and completed in 1929 after long interruptions. This interval describes a multi-period building history, not continuous construction across all intervening years.
