St. George's Basilica and its collection

St. George's Basilica
Source

The St. George's Basilica in Prague was originally built around 920 by Vratislaus I of Bohemia. It is the second oldest church in Prague and belongs to the best preserved Romanesque sights in the Czech Republic and is home to tombs of many members of the royal Premyslid dynasty. The church was rebuilt in Romanesque style in the first half of the 12th century. The baroque facade of St. George's Basilica dates from the 17th century. It is a part of the National Gallery and it has housed many fine examples of Bohemian Art from the 19th century. It is now used as a short-term exhibition space and a concert hall.

St. George's Basilica has 1 rating.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    St. George's Basilica, located within the Prague Castle complex, is a significant historical and architectural site. Visitors appreciate its Romanesque architecture and the peaceful atmosphere inside. The basilica's simple yet elegant design, with its distinctive red facade and twin spires, stands out among Prague's many churches.

    Many reviewers note the well-preserved Romanesque features and the interesting mix of architectural styles due to various reconstructions over the centuries. The interior, while not as ornate as some other Prague churches, impresses with its austere beauty and historical significance. The crypt and tombs of Bohemian royalty add to the historical interest.

    Some visitors mention that the basilica can feel a bit dark and cold, which some find atmospheric while others find it less appealing. A few reviewers note that the information provided inside could be more comprehensive.

    The basilica is often less crowded than other parts of Prague Castle, which many visitors appreciate as it allows for a more contemplative experience. However, some find the entrance fee a bit high, especially if not part of a combined Prague Castle ticket.

    Overall, St. George's Basilica is valued for its historical importance, architectural interest, and as a quieter spot within the busy Prague Castle complex. It's particularly recommended for those interested in early medieval architecture and Czech history.
