St. Giles' Church, Romanesque church in Old Town, Czech Republic.
The Saint Giles Church features a monumental three-nave layout with large towers reinforced by high buttresses at the intersection of Zlatá and Jilská streets.
The church was established in 1238 and underwent multiple reconstructions from the 12th to 14th centuries before being consecrated on May 4, 1371.
The Dominican order has maintained spiritual services at Saint Giles Church since 1625, making it a central religious institution in Prague's Old Town.
Regular Catholic services take place in the church, while classical music concerts featuring works by Mozart and Dvořák are scheduled throughout the year.
The interior reveals a dome depicting a symbolic battle between faith and skepticism, protected by metal grilles that limit direct access.
