Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Gothic cathedral in Staré Město, Czech Republic.

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul rises on Petrov Hill with dual 84-meter towers that define the Brno skyline against the horizon.

The cathedral's foundation dates to the 11th century, starting as a Romanesque chapel in 1140 during Margrave Conrad II Oty's reign with a ceremonial crypt.

The cathedral interior combines multiple architectural periods, from Gothic structural elements to Baroque decorative features added during 18th-century renovations.

Visitors can access the cathedral towers from Monday through Saturday between 11:00 AM and 4:45 PM during winter months for 60 CZK per adult.

The cathedral bells ring at 11:00 AM instead of noon, following a tradition from the Thirty Years' War when residents confused Swedish forces.
