Rotunda of Saint Martin
Rotunda of Saint Martin, Romanesque rotunda in Vyšehrad, Czech Republic.
The circular stone structure features a cylindrical nave, an eastern apse, and walls constructed from local limestone blocks measuring almost one meter thick.
Built around 1100, the rotunda survived both Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years War, during which it served as a gunpowder storage facility.
The interior contains marble altar and wall paintings from the 1870s renovation, including a depiction of Saint Martin on the apse wall.
Catholic masses take place three times per week: Saturdays at 8:00, Mondays and Wednesdays at 18:00, with additional visits requiring advance arrangements.
A Prussian cannonball from the 1757 siege remains embedded in the facade next to the window as a historical marker.
