Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, Baroque church in Hradčany district, Prague, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk features detailed frescoes, elaborate statues, and a prominent dome that defines the skyline of Hradčany district.
Following his execution in 1393 for defying King Wenceslas IV, Saint John of Nepomuk became a symbol of resistance and was commemorated through this church.
The church holds regular Catholic services and ceremonies, maintaining its role as both a religious center and a testament to Czech architectural heritage.
Visitors can access the church through guided tours that explain the architectural elements and religious significance throughout specific hours each week.
The interior decorations incorporate the symbolic pattern of five stars, referencing the lights that appeared above Saint John's body in the Vltava River.
