Church of Saint Adalbert, Gothic church in New Town, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Adalbert stands at the heart of Prague's New Town, displaying the architectural elements of Czech Gothic design through its pointed arches and vaulted ceilings.
The structure evolved from a Romanesque rotunda established in 925 by Prince Václav to its current form, which began construction in 1344 under the reign of Charles IV.
The church contains the tomb of Saint Wenceslas and serves as a central location for religious ceremonies, maintaining centuries-old Catholic traditions in Prague.
The church remains open to visitors throughout the week, offering guided tours that explain its architectural features and historical significance within Prague's religious landscape.
During the extensive construction period spanning 600 years, each generation of builders added their own interpretation of Gothic architecture to the church's design.
