Hrobka českých králů, Royal tomb in Prague Castle, Czech Republic
The Royal Tomb, located beneath St. Vitus Cathedral, contains fourteen burial chambers with marble floors and golden mosaic vaulted ceilings.
Emperor Rudolf II ordered the construction of the new royal burial chamber in the late 16th century, transferring remains from the old crypt.
The tomb holds the remains of Czech rulers, including Charles IV, George of Poděbrady, and Rudolf II, representing centuries of Czech monarchy.
Access to the tomb is through a separate entrance built by architect Kamil Hilbert from the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the cathedral.
The central position features Charles IV's sarcophagus, while Rudolf II's tin Renaissance coffin displays national emblems and six angels on its lid.
