Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of St. George, to whom this Prague church was consecrated, but the veneration of his person goes back a long way to early Christianity. A martyr who is equated with George is said to have lived in the third century.
Well known and widespread, however, is the legend of St. George slaying the dragon, mostly he is depicted - on paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback.
The day of remembrance of the very popular George - he is among other things the patron saint of the English Kingdom - in the saints calendar is on April 23rd.

The Basilica of St. George is the second oldest church in Prague, built around the year 920. The two white towers reach a height of 41 meters. The wider tower on the south side is called Adam, the narrower, northern one is called Eve. It is crooked and leans 40 centimeters.
