St. George's Basilica Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
St. George's Church is the oldest church in Prague Castle, located to the east of St. Vitus Cathedral. I saw an ancient Romanesque building with a towering spire and red walls and bricks, which is St. George's Church. It is also a well-preserved imitation Romanesque building in the Czech Republic. Historical background The church was built in AD 920 and has undergone destruction and expansion, but the cornerstone and two spires of the church have been preserved, and a baroque facade was added in the 17th century. Today the church is used as a concert hall, and concerts are often held here during the Prague Spring festival. The appearance of the tour guide church is very eye-catching. The brick-red facade looks like it is made of enlarged blocks. The triangular place above the facade is engraved with a lifelike relief of St. George the Dragon Slayer. Entering the church, although the size of the church is not comparable to that of St. Vitus Church, there are murals of various religious themes on the walls, interspersed with some statues, which can be viewed slowly. "The Ceiling of Jerusalem" and "The Coronation of the Virgin" are all worth seeing. masterpiece. The surrounding attractions are separated by a wall from St. George's Church, and there is an ancient Bohemian Convent of St. George, which has now been turned into a branch of the National Gallery, with a large collection of medieval paintings.

The interior chapel of St. George's Church is very visible in Roman architecture. The stone walls, exquisite arches and windows, and ancient paintings on the walls are silently telling the history and allusions of the church.
There is a church with twin towers behind the cathedral of Santa Vita, which is very strange because its facade is red, completely different from the usual yellow or gray black, which is St. George's Church. The cornerstones of the church and the two minarets have been preserved since the 10th century. It is the best preserved ancient Roman architecture in the Czech Republic. It is also the second oldest church in Prague. The church is red and white, and the two white minarets have a quaint taste. It is very beautiful. The church was built in 920, rebuilt after the fire of 1142, and finally added a baroque facade in the 17th century, and is now used as a concert hall. The exterior of St. George's Church is striking, with a brick-red facade built of magnified blocks and a lifelike relief of the dragon-slayer St. George in the top triangle. The interior space of the church was relatively cramped, the mottled brick walls, the dilapidated roofs of the famous works of Jerusalem, the Coronation of the Virgin, and the coffins of Václav and Poleslav II, who were buried there, were increasingly vicissitudes and differences. Turning out of St. George's Church, next to Bohemian's first convent, St. George's Convent (two churches connected), the church is small and simple and exquisite, the place where the once noble ladies were educated was demolished and converted into military camps in the 18th century, and now the national art gallery. Because of the limited time, a quick glance.
St. George's Church is also a brick-red building, and the building itself is quite interesting, belonging to a very old church facility in Prague, where many clergy are very professional.
Built in 920 AD, the Basilica of St. George is the most important Prague Romanesque building in the Prague castle. Rebuilt after a fire in 1142. Its baroque facade was built in the late 17th century. Vladislav and Bolesaw II were buried. The building is now used as a concert hall.
Go to Prague Square and watch Cai Yilin's song
Visited the St George’s Basilica near the Prague Castle. It’s a 10th century church with Baroque facade and Bohemian architecture. Prague is simply amazing.
I have commented on a church and another church. For churches, people who don’t understand these churches deeply, what is really embarrassing?
The style of St George's Basilica is also special.
