    After about 286 steps, the gallery of the bell tower offers a wonderful view of the castle area and the city on the Vltava.
    The Venetian-Byzantine influenced mosaic image of the Last Judgement was created in 1370/71 and was unique in Central Europe

    St Vitus Cathedral towers over Prague. Place of pilgrimage, museum and treasury, the cathedral is the largest and most important church in Prague. The cathedral is part of Prague Castle and is the main attraction in the city. If you want to see everything in the Castle complex during a city trip to Prague, set aside an entire afternoon or morning for it.

    The Golden Gate, built between 1366 and 1367, was originally the main entrance to the cathedral. Above the gate you can see a magnificent golden mosaic from 1370, which depicts the Last Judgement, as well as King Charles IV and his wife Elisabeth of Pomerania.

    The bell tower next to it is 96 meters high and can be climbed. It offers a wonderful view of the city. The bell dates from 1549 and is the largest bell in the country.
