Saint Wenceslas Cathedral

The cathedral features three medieval towers, with the main spire reaching 100 meters and two additional towers adorning the front facade.

Initially constructed as a Romanesque basilica in 1131, the structure transformed into a Gothic cathedral during extensive modifications in the 13th century.

The cathedral holds the remains of Saint Jan Sarkander at a neo-Gothic altar and serves as the seat of the Olomouc Archdiocese.

The cathedral opens daily for visitors, offering guided tours that explain its architectural elements and religious significance throughout the centuries.

The rear tower stands as the second-tallest church tower in the Czech Republic, dominating the skyline of the Moravian region.
