Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul (Vyšehrad)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk is located in the Hradčany district of Prague, near Prague Castle. It was built between 1720 and 1729 in the High Baroque style. Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer is considered the architect, while the original plans came from his father, Christoph Dientzenhofer. The octagonal nave with its artfully designed vault is particularly impressive. The frescoes were created in 1727 by Václav Vavřinec Reiner and depict scenes from the life of Saint John of Nepomuk. Originally, the church was built for the neighboring Ursuline convent. Today it is used by the military chaplaincy. The church is a beautiful example of Prague's baroque architecture and is one of the interesting sights around Prague Castle.

View of the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul and the Vltava River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul and the Vltava River is one of the particularly beautiful sights of Prague. The neo-Gothic basilica is located on the historic Vyšehrad and rises impressively above the river. Its two striking towers can be seen from afar and shape the panorama of southern Prague.
From the banks of the Vltava River, there is a beautiful view of the basilica and the historic Vyšehrad complex above it. The river forms a natural connection between the tranquil riverside landscape and the impressive architecture.
The view is particularly atmospheric in the evening, when the basilica and the surrounding buildings are illuminated and the lights are reflected on the Vltava River. The view combines nature, history, and architecture, showing a quieter, but equally impressive side of Prague.

Rotunda of St. Martin

Highlight • Religious Site

The Rotunda of St. Martin is the largest surviving rotunda in Prague. Built in the second half of the 11th century, it has escaped demolition several times in its history. During the Thirty Years' War it served as a powder store. The cannonball embedded in the façade to the right of the window commemorates the Prussian killing spree of 1757. The rotunda is now used by Vyšehrad Fortress for religious purposes.
