Basilica of St Peter and St Paul
Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, Minor basilica in Vyšehrad, Czech Republic
The basilica features twin neo-Gothic spires, ornate Art Nouveau wall decorations, and a carved wooden altar depicting Saints Peter, Paul, Cyril, and Methodius.
Prince Vratislav II established the church in 1070 as a counterpart to Prague Castle, carrying 12 baskets of stones for its foundation.
The basilica contains the Gothic Madonna of Rain painting from the 14th century and displays numerous gold and silver artifacts in its treasury.
The basilica opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 between April and October, with modified hours during winter months and regular masses on Thursdays and Fridays.
The church houses a shoulder blade relic of Saint Valentine in a gold-decorated reliquary, brought to Prague by Emperor Charles IV from Italy.
