Rotunda of Saint Vitus
Rotunda of Saint Vitus, Romanesque rotunda at Prague Castle, Czech Republic
The circular church structure stands within the Prague Castle complex, featuring early medieval architecture with thick stone walls and rounded arches.
Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, established the rotunda around 930, dedicating it to Saint Vitus after receiving a holy relic from Emperor Henry I.
The rotunda represents the transition of Czech lands to Christianity, serving as one of the first stone churches in the region.
Visitors can access the rotunda during Prague Castle complex hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The structure contains original foundation stones from the 10th century, marking it as the oldest Christian building within Prague Castle grounds.
