Description
The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius on Radhošť is a stone building with a Byzantine-style dome and wooden shingle roof standing at the summit of Radhošť mountain at 1129 meters high. The structure has a simple yet dignified form with an entrance area and a marble altar inside.
History
Construction of the chapel began in 1896 following architect Skibinski's design and replaced an earlier stone cross that marked the Christian conversion from pagan worship. The building was erected at this sacred location that had long held meaning for the local community.
Culture
The interior displays local Walachian traditions through stained glass windows showing saints and a painting of the Walachian Madonna wearing traditional clothing. These artworks reflect the cultural identity of people who have lived in this mountain region for generations.
