Insta Friday: Prague Cathedral

For today’s Insta Friday post I have a collection of beautiful St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. It is the most important church in our country, the seat of Archibishop, roman catholic church. It was built from 1344 (first half started) to 1929 (second half finished) with lot of work done in between.
My most favorite part of the cathedral are the stained glass windows at the new part of the Cathedral, works of Czech artists Alfons Mucha and Max Švabinský. And in the gallery you can see why I like it so much.

    I remember an exquisite combination of roman and gothic architecture, exquisitely blended, and making a strong imperial statement. As a man of Bohemian ancestry, a Leipe, after all, I felt amazingly at home. I want to go back. There’s something about the dark colours that speaks strongly to me. Thanks for the memories.
