St. Longin's Rotunda, Romanesque rotunda in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The cylindrical structure features a domed roof with a lantern and contains a Baroque altar from 1762 within its stone walls.
Built in the 12th century as a parish church for Rybníček village, the rotunda changed dedication from St Stephen to St Longinus after New Town's establishment.
The building represents one of three preserved Romanesque rotundas in Prague and now functions as a Greek Catholic church with specific interior decorations.
Located at coordinates 50.076572, 14.425628, the rotunda accepts visitors through scheduled appointments and maintains regular religious services.
The structure survived demolition plans during the 19th-century street construction thanks to historian František Palacký's intervention to protect this architectural heritage.
