St. Vitus Cathedral - Prague, Czech Republic


St. Vitus Cathedral is the Roman Catholic church located within Prague Castle. Construction began in 1344 and was completed 600 years later! While the cathedral is predominantly Gothic in style, you can find Renaissance and Baroque influences.

A buttress and a rose window! :) I love that cathedral. It was so cool to finally visit it - and have a beer right outside, under the gargoyles!

Yay! Ding, ding, ding! Thanks for playing along!

This place and the whole city, for that matter, caused me to audibly gasp many, many times! Beer under the gargoyles?! Now I have a reason to go back!!!

I love the detail in old cathedrals like this

I just noticed how much it reminds me of fractals. Odd.

Odd that you just noticed that? I've never looked at it that way...thanks for pointing it out.

You think so, too, then?

I see this, to some extent, happening in the arch detail...in reverse though.

And this in the window...obviously.

What are seeing, specifically?
