Prague: St. Vitus Cathedral
The cathedral was begun by Charles IV in a location of an earlier rotunda built by Duke Wenceslas. It underwent different periods of growth and completion finally recieving consecration in 1929. The cathedral is home to the tomb of King Wenceslas and the crypts show the earliest foundations of the original rotunda structure as well as the royal tombs. Most of the structure was done in the Gothic style but the different eras have left thier architectural signature.It is open from 9-5 except during services.
