The reaching spires of Prague Castle, the seat of Bohemian government for a thousand years, can be seen from virtually anywhere in Prague. It is actually more of a complex than a castle, covering 45 hectares (110 acres) and comprising three courtyards, fortifications and gardens. Its most famous attraction is the Gothic St Vitus Cathedral, the country’s largest church, which was begun in 1344 under Charles IV but not completed until 1929, and is much loved for its stained glass. St Wenceslas’ Chapel contains the tomb of the country’s most famous patron saint and a cycle of paintings depicting scenes from his life.
