Saint Wenceslas Cathedral
Located on Wenceslas Square, this Neo-Gothic cathedral is a religious site founded in 1107. Visitors go here to see the architectural evolution of the building, which reflects several centuries of construction and redesign. It serves as a primary landmark of the city's ecclesiastical history.
