Church of Our Lady before Tyn
Staromestske nam., 110 00 Prague 1
Those twin spires — 80 meters of blackened Gothic stone bristling with subsidiary pinnacles — dominate the Old Town Square skyline and have done so since the 14th century.
Church of Our Lady Victorious (Infant Jesus)
Karmelitská 9, 118 00 Prague 1
This small Baroque church in Mala Strana contains one of the most venerated Catholic objects in the world: a 45-centimeter wax statue of the infant Christ that has been credited with miracles since the 17th century and is worshipped by millions of Catholics from Spain to the Philippines.
Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Church)
Zámecká 127, 284 03 Kutná Hora
Somewhere between 40,000 and 70,000 dead people are decorating this chapel, and the effect is equal parts horrifying and beautiful.
St. Vitus Cathedral
III. nadvori 48/2, 119 01 Prague 1
They started building this cathedral in 1344 and didn't finish until 1929 — nearly six hundred years of construction, which has to be some kind of European record for a building that nobody could agree was done.
Strahov Library
Strahovske nadvori 1/132, 118 00 Prague 1
Two rooms.
