As the most important church in the country, St. Vitus Cathedral definitely has many details to offer. The two towers in front have many spires that will take quite some time to count, if you have some to spare.

The rose window is something everyone would admire at the first glance of the cathedral front facade. If you look more carefully, there are actually 20^th century human figures beneath it. Those are the figures of the architects.



Besides the front part of the cathedral, the clock tower is another to look for fine details.





There are mosaic walls depicting the bible stories as well near the clock tower.







If you fancy horoscope, there are something for you too.
