I took so many photos in the St. Vitus, St. Wenceslas and St. Adalbert Cathedral that I have to post a few more here. Above you see a side chapel where the remains of some king are buried (that shadowy thing at the bottom is his crypt).
This is the back of the church. I particularly liked the latticework around the window.
You can see some of the crests adorning the walls across the top of the arches here. I believe they are the marks of different nobles through the years; and since this place goes back about a dozen centuries, they need space for a lot of those.
Here you can see the front of the altar, which is slightly less ornate than much of the rest of the place.
The red effect in the above shot is due to the sunlight streaming through one of the stained glass windows. In different parts of the cathedral, there were similar effects in blue and pink.
