My TIP

From the south tower of St. Vitus Cathedral you have a wonderful view of this church.

Expolore St. George's Basilica

St. George's Basilica, located within Prague Castle, is the oldest surviving church building in the castle complex. Founded in 920 by Vratislaus I of Bohemia and dedicated to Saint George, this Romanesque-style basilica has a rich history, including serving as an abbey church and housing the tombs of members of the Přemyslid dynasty. Today, it is a national cultural monument and houses the 19th-century Bohemian Art Collection of the National Gallery Prague, while also hosting concerts and events.

Interesting facts

Beyond its architectural beauty and historical significance, St. George's Basilica stands out for its strikingly simple and austere interior, a hallmark of the Romanesque style, contrasting with the ornate designs found in many other religious buildings of its era. Its two white towers, affectionately nicknamed "Adam and Eve," are a distinctive feature of the Prague Castle skyline, adding a unique charm to the city's panoramic views.
